A legal notice served by a landlord to end an assured shorthold tenancy without providing a reason for eviction.
The notice must be served in accordance with certain legal requirements, including giving tenants at least two months' notice to leave the property. It cannot be issued during the fixed term of a tenancy unless there is a mutual break clause, and landlords must also comply with various regulations, such as protecting the tenant’s deposit and providing a valid Energy Performance Certificate.
If a tenant fails to vacate the property by the date specified in the Section 21 Notice, the landlord must apply to the court for a possession order. The court will review the notice and the accompanying documentation to ensure compliance with the legal requirements before granting the order.
A Section 21 Notice, also known as a "no-fault eviction" notice, is used by landlords in the UK to terminate an assured shorthold tenancy. It allows landlords to regain possession of their property without providing any specific reason for eviction, as long as the fixed-term tenancy has expired or any break clause has been invoked.
