Same form is suitable for all circumstances including a recent purchase.
thank you – is there any need to assign the previous owner/landlords tenancy agreement over to the new owner landlord or does the new owner have the right to issue possession proceedings in his name based on proof of ownership
No, the section 48 effectively takes care of it. The tenant remains protected (and remains a tenant) as the statue moves the tenancy to the new owner. The section 48 is required to provide details of that new landlord.
Great – thank you for the reassuring information!
