So sorry for the typing errors in the heading was in such a rush today – of course it should read section 21 – from which date, thank you so much.
Was the tenancy granted on or after 1 October 2015 – or before?
Prior in 2012 – thank you
Not clear if the tenancy is statutory periodic or contractual periodic
the contract ended 12 months after the initial 12 month ast in 2012 so i think its a periodic tenancy, is there a difference between a statutory and periodic and would it make a difference here?
In that case, using your example of serving on the 11 October, the notice will expire on 30 December and so proceedings cannot begin until 31 December onwards.
The reason I asked the start date was because for tenancies granted on or after 1 October 2015, the requirement to expire on a period of the tenancy has been removed and so just 2 months plus 4 days notice is sufficient without worrying about what date that would be. However, you are still on the old rules.
Thank you so much!
