Give notice to end an assured shorthold tenancy in England using the prescribed Form 6A, under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Includes a full validity check so you do not serve a notice a court would reject.
This is the prescribed Form 6A notice used to end an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) in England under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. It is a 'no fault' notice: you do not have to give a reason. It cannot be used for tenancies in Wales, for non-shorthold assured tenancies, for lodgers, or for common law tenancies. Serving it incorrectly is the most common reason possession claims fail, so the questions below check the conditions that make a section 21 notice valid.
A section 21 notice is invalid unless certain legal duties have been met. If any answer below is 'No', a court is likely to reject a possession claim based on this notice. Fix the issue first, then serve the notice.
