Covering Letter for Section 21 Notice (England)

PROP.PP.02

This Section 21 Covering Letter for a Tenancy in England is a covering letter for a Section 21 Notice (Form 6A).  It should be used where the landlord wishes to terminate an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) at the end or after the end of its fixed term.

A completed Section 21 Notice (Form 6A) needs to be enclosed with this letter.

The letter reminds the tenant of the steps he must take before vacating the property in order to ensure that the deposit is refunded in full.

The tenant is asked to sign a copy of the letter and return it to the landlord to confirm receipt.  The landlord must remember to send the tenant two copies of the letter and a stamped addressed envelope.

The letter should be delivered by hand or sent by recorded delivery.  Remember that the two months notice period begins from the time the tenant receives the letter, not when the letter was posted.  Always allow a few extra days when setting the termination date.  For example, if the letter is sent by recorded delivery on 25 June, do not give a termination date of 25 August. Instead, select a later date such as 28 August.

This letter is duplicated in the Section 21 Accelerated Possession Proceedings sub-folder.

Optional phrases/clauses are enclosed in square brackets.  These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.

This Section 21 Covering Letter for a Tenancy in England is in open format.  Either enter the requisite details in the highlighted fields or adjust the wording to suit your purposes.
