What form is a section 21?

Section 21 (Form 6A) This form should be used where a no fault possession of accommodation let under an assured shorthold tenancy is sought under section 21(1) or (4) of the Housing Act 1988.

Is a 6A the same as a section 21?

Your section 21 notice will only be valid if your landlord used form 6A or gave you a letter with the same information. They must also have used the right version of the form. The right version depends on when notice was served to end the tenancy.

What is a 21 section?

A section 21 notice means your landlord wants you to leave so they should agree to an earlier move out date. Agree a tenancy end date with your landlord if you move out before the end of the notice. Keep letters, emails or texts as proof of what is agreed.

What is the difference between a section 21 and a 6A?

Form 6A is still a type of section 21 notice. However, instead of having two notices to choose from, there is only one to use. And the older notices are still required for tenancies that started before 1 October 2015 (of which there are a surprisingly large number).
