Hi All,
I may have used the wrong terminology on a previous posting concerning the question, so I have re-written it.
I served notice to the tenant form 6A - possession of a property back in May 2018, the tenant was given 3 months notice the tenancy expires at the end of Aug 2018, the tenant has now informed the council that the property is unsafe (ie, they have caused a leak in the property) the council will be investigating this soon and I will get the results. I just want to think ahead, if they find there is a leak (I will of course do what ever the council instructs me to do), the council from what I understand will serve a notice on me or the property for the works to be carried out, if I complete the works say within a week (still having just under 2 months left until the actual tenancy finish's) the council then (I hope) will send me a confirmation letter stating that all is well. In the form N5B (which I will send to the courts) on the next working day after the tenancy expires, is the N5B still valid or do I now have to wait 6 months in order to serve a new form 6A on the tenant? As form N5B section 8 will have July's date if the works have been completed.
I just think this would be an endless task as 1-2months prior to serving the tenant, they just need to create another leak or issue and raise it with the council, and stay in the property for a further 6 months.
