I am a landlord with an AST dated 24th December for a fixed term of 6 months until 23rd June. I want to give my tenant noitce to vacate as he is yet to pay the rent due 24th May and he has persistanyl late with rent. Can I serve Section 21 to end the tenancy on 23rd June which is wehn the fixed term would normally end or does I need to give him 2 months notice?

Have a good read of this site but the quick answer is that a S21 needs to give two months notice, and you need to gain possession at the end of a rent period, i.e. to allow them to pay for a full months rent.
Be careful with due dates, and the wording that you are requiring possession after such a date etc.
Kind regards,

If you serve before 23 June, use s.21(1)(b) Notice. This will run for two months exactly, after which you can start proceedings.Originally posted by magskate View PostJEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*
