Using an Eviction Notice Sample

A section 21 notice (by virtue of section 21 of the 1988 Housing Act) is the notice that a landlord should provide to their tenants to recover custody of their rental dwelling, at the completion of an AST. All landlords are allowed, without offering any reasons, to give their tenants a section 21 notice to terminate their tenancy.

There are several versions of the section 21 eviction notice sample that can be used. One is formatted specifically for notices sent out before the conclusion of the fixed term. Another eviction notice sample is used for periodic tenancies; those tenancies which automatically follow on after the finish of the fixed term. As stated by the Housing Act in section 21, this notice may be given at any point in a periodic tenancy with the date of expiry being the final day in the tenancy period; which means quite simply that the date on which the notice runs out must be the last day in a tenancy period.

Eviction Notice Sample

To guarantee that the paperwork is completely correct, that no particular or small point has been overlooked and is consequently legally binding; most experienced landlords draw on a legally prepared eviction notice sample.
The tenancy period completely hinges on how regularly the rental payments are made.

In consequence, if the rental payments are handed over each month, then it means that the tenancy period is a month. In order to understand which day is the final day in any specific tenancy period; landlords will have to examine the fixed term tenancy agreement as periodic tenancies commence immediately once the fixed term runs out.

To demonstrate this, say the tenancy period is each month and the start day of the present period is June 3rd then the concluding date in that period will be July 2nd, hence any notice served during the existing period should be presented, so that it will run out on the last day of a period, once a further 2 months have elapsed on September 3rd.

A word of warning, a very common court justification as to why a section 21 notice is deemed enforceable, is when a landlord has written the wrong date in a notice; so always ensure you obtain some professional guidance when preparing these notices.
