LANDLORD TRAP CORNER

We are truly sorry but the prescribed s 21 Housing Act 1988 notice seeking possession of a property let on an assured shorthold tenancy—the much maligned form 6A—is amended as from 1 June 2019 by the Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 (SI 2019/915). Lest you should be instructed by a LiP (Landlord in Pickle who tried to save money and been told they have messed it up), it’s worth remembering that the prescribed form is not mandatory, although it can be used, for assured shortholds created before 1 October 2015 or statutory periodic tenancies which have come into being on or after 1 October 2015 at the end of fixed terms created before 1 October 2015.

The revised form is inspired by the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and draws the tenant’s attention to the fact that s 17 prevents the landlord from serving a s 21 notice so long
