Section 21 form 6a

[hazedunks]

I 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

In July 2020, section 21 notices had a six month expiry, so it's probably just expired.

Will i have to serve another one.

Is there any other option? Is the tenant in 6 months arrears or close to it? Is there any anti-social behaviour?

[hazedunks]

There are no other options im afraid.

Sounds like you have your answer then.

Only if you want to end the tenancy.

Did the section 21 have an end date of July or was it issued in july to end in october ?

Other options:

- ask tenant nicely to leave
- try bribery (legally)
- decide to live with them staying
- sell the place with tenant in (entirely legal)
- etc etc etc

Serve notice, and stay alert of when it expires and proceed to with court action as quickly as possible. Ensure all your paperwork is in order otherwise you will back serving the notice again.
