    One thing I don't get (OK 1 of many) is, if a s21 has no expiry date if before 1 October 2015, or even with an expiry date post 1 October , surely the notice has to state when the notice starts and ends?

    There is a big difference between the expiry date of the notice and the deadline to start court proceedings.

    I just find it strange that you're paying the rent and then claiming it back

    My parents did that when they were guarantors for my brother. The rent came out their account so they knew it was getting paid and then sometimes my brother gave them the money back. Stops any nasty surprises.

    Fair enough :)


    never had the pleasure of needing guarantors, but it does make sense.

    I know, as has been said in this thread, there is no expiry date if before 1 October 2015.

    There is a start date - the date it is served.

    (In most cases) there is a notice period of 2 months.

    When the 2 months Notice period expires, the landlord can apply for possession via the courts.

    If the LL does not apply for possession after 2 months, he can do so after 3 months (or 4, 5, 8, 12 or 24 etc). The S21 itself does not expire once it has been correctly served.

    (This is a generalisation - there are some circumstances in which it expires eg if the tenancy commenced post 1/10/15 etc)

    Clearly you do not know...

    There has always been an expiry date.

    Now there is also a deadline to start proceedings.

    A much better way to explain it.

    The s21 as stated does not expire , as I was asking about before 1 October 2015.


    Thanks G_M that's helpful.

    Oh boy... I think reading comprehension is the issue.

    A s.21 notice expires after 2 months, which is when court action can begin.


    Post 1st October a s.21 notice expires after 2 months, but must now be acted on, it has a deadline. Miss the deadline and process starts again.
