The validity of a Section 21 notice (often used for a "no-fault eviction") depends on various factors, including whether the notice was served correctly and whether the landlord has met all legal requirements. To determine the validity of your specific notice, you should consider the following: • The notice should be on the correct prescribed form, typically Form 6A, and should include all the necessary information and ensure that the notice provides the appropriate notice period. • Your landlord must have protected your tenancy deposit in a government-approved scheme and provided you with the required information within the legal timeframe. • Your landlord must provide you with a valid gas safety and energy performance certificate and the current copy of the GOV.UK How to Rent booklet • Does the property require to a licence under the Housing Act 2004? • Has your the landlord taken payments prohibited by the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and not repaid them • Has your council served your landlord with an improvement notice? If the property has been served with a local housing authority's improvement notice, this may impact the validity of the Section 21 notice. It is important to seek legal advice to determine the validity of your specific Section 21 notice. You can consult our specialised housing solicitors who can review your case and provide guidance on your rights and options.
