Do tenants have any grounds to appeal once they have moved out?

We served notice to our tenants with Form 6a,  which we later found out  was the wrong form as it wasn't the most upto date.  Before we served them with the correct form they then found somewhere else & gave us notice they are moving out. They're hopefully moving out next week. We were originally going to sell the property but have decided to keep it & continue renting it out. Do the tenants have any grounds to come back to us as we originally served them with the incorrect form as we're going to be continuing to rent the house out? Many thanks

If your tenants have given you notice and they move out, hand the keys back and ride off into the sunset, then that tenancy is over by mutual consent. They might cross you off their Christmas card list when they see the property is back up for let after they've gone to the trouble of moving, but I don't think they'd have any legal recourse.

Thanks Simon. That's what I was hoping & thinking but just didn't know as we'd originally served them with the wrong form if there was a loophole & they would have grounds to appeal. Thanks
