Some of it doesn't sound right to me
You should bear in mind that, in an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, a tenant has a minimum of 6 months’ security. This means that the court will not make a possession order which takes effect before the tenancy has been in place for 6 months.
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.

So, on the basis that anything not forbidden is allowed, possibly.
If you said to a tenant, ignore the notice I sent to you, I don't plan to act on it, you'd expect that the tenant should be able to rely on that.
When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

Reply to 3 friends renting togetherby DPT57To be fair, if its a modern property with interlinked smoke/heat detectors and not caught by an Additional Licensing Scheme then the HMO requirements aren't particularly onerous or costly. Most of the HMO Management Regulations are a reiteration of HHSRS that would be required for all properties and...

Reply to Changing AST from joint to singleby LawcruncherIf you decide that the best thing is to start all over again and you are satisfied that the tenant who wants to remain is a good bet with her guarantor, the way to proceed is as follows: get the tenant to sign and let you have a notice to quit and a new tenancy agreement starting on the day after the...

by rupert206Hi all,
I had a periodic AST with my tenants in a joint name. Recently the tenant has split up with her partner and has requested a new tenancy agreement to be drawn up in a single name.
Is this necessary or can the existing periodic agreement continue?
If it is...-

by hazedunksI served a tenant a section 21 in july 2020 and gave them the recommended 3 month notice period at the time due to covid 19. Is it too late for me to apply for the possession order now? Wil the section 21 still be valid?
Thanks-

Reply to 3 friends renting togetherby doobreyI agree. It has been suggested on this forum before that 3-bed HMOs are few and far between because the achievable rent doesn't justify the expense / compliance / risk / work that an HMO entails. I think that this is fairly accurate....
