Hi there.
So I have decided to sell my rental property and I know its not the best time of the year to do so.
I have just read online that you now how to give 6 months notice to vacate ? Is this correct?

The contract was a AST contract that is now rolling on a periodic contract.
Can I still use the section 21 form 6a to give notice on this specific periodic contract?

I am now confused with all the new rules cause of covid.
thanks
I apologise if its a silly question

Form 6A is the required form to use in England. There is no prescribed form if you're in Wales.

Yes, minimum notice period is currently 6 months, currently due to revert to 2 months on 31 March/1 April.

Notice does not end tenancy, if tenant doesn't leave, you'll have to take them to court.

Thank you KTC for replying.
Yes I just needed reassurance I was on the right path after reading a few things this morning. I am in England.
Ok to use this for a periodic tenancy then?

So they are going to change it back then.
So does that mean I can serve another 6A in April and get the tenant out in the 2 months notice?

I am hoping he will be fine with it all. Fingers crossed. He has been a good tenant and we have had a great relationship.

Thank you for your help.

This is from the Gov website....1.10 I have previously served my tenant with a notice and have now done so again. Which notice is valid?
If a landlord wishes to serve a new notice in order to take advantage of the new shorter notice periods required for certain serious cases, they should, where they are issuing a new notice of the same type, withdraw the first notice before they serve a new notice.

Landlords may find it helpful to seek independent legal advice regarding these matters.

Thank you.
Yeah I have served one to run till Sept but was hoping that I could them serve him one in April when the rule changes and get him out in June.

Thanks its just nice to get reassurance your on the right track.
