Section 21 and EPC Renewal

12-02-2019, 09:19 AM

Hi all,

I'm looking to serve a section 21 to my tenants.

I currently have the gas cert updated but the EPC cert just expired and I am having problems with the tenants, not allowing the EPC guy in.

Please advise.

You only need the epc to be current when the tenancy started.

Write and do inspection (not EPC ) and see what is going on.

Why should they let EPC man in - not their job or responsibility? Simply arrange to be there so you can let him in & supervise him.

I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

Ending an AST which is now periodic but started in Feb '15

Hi Friends,

Apologies in advance as I'm sure this has been asked before.

I would like to end an AST which commenced for 6 months on 28/02/15, which has been a periodic since August '15.

Am I correct in issuing a S21 Periodic s21(4)(a), or a 6a??

I think I'd serve the one contemporary with the start of the periodic tenancy if that was after 1st October 2015, just to be sure.

The 'Right to Rent Book' had to be given for ASTs after 1st October 2015.

I have been a landlord for 13 years and have 8 properties in my portfolio. I have decided that it is time to take out membership of a landlord’s association. My properties are all in Wales and I have a mix of tenants. Does anyone have experience of any association and could suggest issues I should...

What’s your reason for wanting to join now?

I’ve done the opposite to you. I’ve been a member of the NLA for 2 years but have this time decided let my membership lapse as I’ve never used them for anything so it’s a waste of money for me.

If I needed specialist help...

You can use a notice under s21 (not Form 6a - although you can use that form if you wish).
I wouldn't specify that it is under (4)a as that isn't necessary (and limits the ex[iry date to the end of a tenancy period) - if you use Form 6a it gives the correct reference to the applicable law.

Advice and draft letter for claiming 1 to 3xdeposit is on Shelter's website. Simply sending letter may get 1x so worth a stamp
