    Section 21 Date of Expiry

    Hi All,

    I'm just about to serve a section 21 to a troublesome tenant and I'm not sure about the Date of Expiry.

    The tenancy is outside the fixed term.

    Does this require 2 clear months? ie. I want to serve the notice 12th Jan 2010-is the date of expiry 11th March 2010 or 31st March 2010?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Please answer:

    * What date did the AST's fixed term end?
    * What is the rental period, e.g. is rent paid monthly, weekly, etc.?
    * Is any protectable deposit protected?

      Hi Tom

      Fix term finished yesterday. (Nothing to do with serving s.21 today)
      Rent is (should be) paid monthly. (Always just inside 2 month so can't serve s.8)
      I've just protected the deposit today!

        Fixed term ended on 10/01/2010. a STP (Statutory Periodic Tenancy) now exists, which runs from the 11th of a month to the 10th of the next month.

        The notice may be served on any day, but must expire on the 10th of a month (the last day of a tenancy period); and, giving a minimum of 2 months notice.

        If a valid s.21(4)(a) notice is served on 12/01/2010, the earliest expiry would be: 'after 10 April 2010'.

          3 months virtually! I'm in danger of losing the other 3 tenants at the moment and 3 months minimum won't impress them.

          Thanks Tom for your help.

            It would have been better to serve an s.21 notice in the fixed term; in which case expiry would not need to end on the last day of the rent period, e.g. if s.21(1)(b) was served on: 09/01/2010, then expiry would be: 'after 08/03/2010'.

              Tessa Sandersons book says about S21

              "it must expire on or after the end of your fixed term"

              is this incorrect advice ?

                No but a mite misleading. The Notice has to expire no earlier than the AST does. Her 'on' could be ambiguous.

                  No.

                  You are being asked for compensation for a loss beyond fair wear and tear which the landlord is obliged to keep to a minimum.
                  The loss would be the lost use of the carpet, which have lasted 5 years already, and would have had an expected lifetime of maybe 8 years.

                  Am I correct that the landlord can’t charge me for new carpets, but only for the loss of expected life of the original carpets? Or should I just pay up for an easy life?

                  Carpets weren’t new when I moved in five years ago. There is some damage beyond wear and tear, which I am happy to compensate the landlord for, but do I have to pay the full price of new carpets?

                  Let the tenancy go automatically into a Periodic state, both you and the T's then have the flexibility to move on if their circumstances changes.

                  The cost would be attributed to the loss of the item (not incl. wear and tear), if you have damaged the carpet by way of burn marks or pet urine and the carpets were new at the time of you moving in, I would expect the full cost back. If in doubt you could raise the issue via the deposit schemes ar...

                  The one I was going to buy was in a really good setting and would have taken a good photograph for advertising purposes.
                  There were two reasons I did not buy.
