on the sec 21


Date of expiry after 03 October 2009

dated 30 July 09

You have paid admin fees for the new contract, you have a new contract. They are in a muddle. I normally suggest to do things formally in writing, but in this case, I would suggest a call to the Agent in gentle terms: "Now look, you arranged a new contract for us until December and we paid admin fees for that, so what is all this about? Do you really mean you want us out in October or is there come mistake?"

Only after they have answered that start thinking about what to do next.

Heres the 1st Paragraph

dated 30 July 09

We write on behalf of your Landlord to give you notice to terminate your tenancy at the above property in accordance with the Housing Act 1988 - section 21. Your tency will therefore terminate on the 03 October 2009 when, subject to vacant possession, your rental liabililty will cease.Please note that under the terms of your Tenancy Agreement, it is not permissible to utilise the deposit monies for the purpose of rent.

the rest of the letter goeson about getting the place clean and tidy and repairing any damage that has been done.

So did you sign a brand new AST from the 6th June?!!!!! Please answer, as what you are posting so far is inconclusive and not helpful to those willing to give advice.

I have been renting a house since Jan 09 and signed up for a further 6 months rent in June 09 up until Dec 09, which the management company charged me to sign (admin costs on there part)..

Bombs - my suggestion would be that you do *not* ring these jokers, do it all in writing sent via recorded delivery, with copies kept.

You merely need to state the address of your rented property, confirm that you signed for a further Fixed Term of six months ( from xxx to xxx) and that they seem to have made in error in trying to serve a premature S21 notice of intent to seek possession of the property prior to the actual expiry date of your contract. Tell them that you look forward to receiving confirmation of their mistake, and will of course be remaining at the property for the duration of your tenancy agreement.

If your rent is less than £25K pa, and the property is let on an AST & is in Eng/Wales then your tenancy deposit should have been scheme-registered and "prescribed information" given to you by the LA/LL - has this been done? ( If it hasn't then they cannot serve a valid S21 until the deposit *has* been registered, even if they got their contract expiry timings right.)

You may want to contact the Private Sector Rentals Team/Tenancy Relations Officer at the local Council for help with this - they can speak direct to the LA/LL if you need them to.

Normally, I would agree to go in writing, but they have dropped such a booboo here, that I think the first move is to just double check by phone, to see if they climb down quickly. If they do back down over the phone on Monday morning, that is a load of stress gone, but if they don't, then definitely write in the terms you suggest.

That he paid admin costs! Am I to assume it was automatically for a new AST or some other thing LA's throw into the equation? :rolleyes:

Gawd knows they charge for breathing in some cases!


You should know from the posts on here, that what is said in a couple of sentences first post, becomes a whole different ball game once other information comes to light.....several days later!

Even if they 'climb down' over the phone, it still needs to be confirmed (by them) in writing.
So I would still advocate doing all this in writing. They sent a formal S21 by post. Reply the same way.

I would say that it's pretty safe to deduce that " signed up for a further 6 months rent in June 09 up until Dec 09" means that someone has signed up for a further AST

Indeed they do, but then they do have shiny offices with special air, exhaled by mouth-breathing LAs.......:D
