Assured shorthold tenancy-Notice to Quit

Formal notice to be given by a Landlord requiring a Tenant to vacate the Property under S21

A Notice to Quit is more properly known as a Notice Requiring Repossession. Under the Housing Act 1988 Section 21, to legally end an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement the landlord must serve a Notice Requiring Possession upon the tenant and must give the tenant a minimum of two months notice.


The notice specifies that the landlord wants to regain possession of the property and specifies the date when this is to be done by. Possession under this section cannot take place during the initial six months of the original tenancy. If possession is sought by the landlord during the first six months of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy then it can only be obtained if a breach of contract has been proven and a notice under Section 21 would not be appropriate
Section 21 is divided into subsections with different rules applying to (a) notice served during the fixed term of a tenancy and (b) notice for possession that is served during a statutory periodic tenancy
