JUST NOTICED

The prescribed form of notice seeking possession of a secured tenancy in England has been revamped by the Secure Tenancies (Notices) (Amendment) and Suspension (Coronavirus) (England) Regulations 2021 (SI 2021/946) which were belatedly made on 19 August and came into force on 24 August 2021 so no danger of anyone being taken by surprise then. The change is in the information for the tenant about when proceedings can be commenced. That information as set out in para 10(2) of Sch 29 to the Coronavirus Act 2021 which now stands suspended has been substituted to reflect the current requisite notice periods. Some re-serves can be expected although notices served before 24 August 2021 are saved.
