A Section 21 notice is a legal document that landlords in England can use to end an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) without providing a reason. It's often called a "no-fault eviction" notice.
The UK Government plans to abolish Section 21 notices under the Renters Reform Bill. Check the latest legislation as this may affect your ability to serve a Section 21 notice.
You must give at least 2 months' notice. The notice period begins from the date the tenant receives the notice, and must end on the last day of a rental period if the tenancy is periodic.
You can serve a Section 21 notice at any time during the tenancy, but you cannot enforce it during the first 4 months. The earliest you can ask the tenant to leave is 4 months after the tenancy started.
You must use Form 6A in England. The form is prescribed by law and must be completed correctly. Using the wrong form or an outdated version can invalidate your notice.
If the tenant doesn't leave after the notice period expires, you must apply to the court for a possession order. You cannot forcibly evict a tenant yourself - only court bailiffs can legally remove tenants.
You can serve the notice during a fixed term, but possession cannot be obtained until after the fixed term ends, unless your tenancy agreement contains a break clause allowing earlier termination.
