Frequently Asked Questions

When do I serve a section 21 notice for a fixed term?You must serve the notice at least two months before you want possession of the premises. This means that if you want possession immediately after the fixed term has ended, you must give the notice 2 months prior to the end date of the tenancy. If you give the notice on the last day of the tenancy, the tenant does not have to leave the premises for another 2 months. The 2 months starts when the tenant receives the notice so extra days should be provided if you are posting the notice to the tenant.

In addition, you should note the following:
  • notice can be served at any time during the fixed term but you cannot serve this notice before the tenancy has started;
  • you cannot ask for possession of the premises before the fixed term has come to an end; and
  • check any notice clauses or provisions within the tenancy agreement to ensure that you comply with these when serving the notice. These may, for example, specify the address for service of the notice and/or when notice will be deemed to have been received by the tenant.
