What's the reason for the oft-given advice that an S21 notice should be served on tenants on the day they move in (presumably, even when the landlord is not necessarily wanting them out after the initial 6-month period)? I used to think that this was just a device used by agents to give them the excuse of charging fees for producing a new AST agreement but I know it's more than that.
If you do issue the S21 like this, what happens if at 6 months you want the tenancy to continue on a periodic basis - can you just tear the thing up (and issue another one later on when you *do* want to evict the tenants?!)
