    Wales eviction s21...
    https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants/section-21-and-section-8-notices
    When you cannot use a Section 21 notice in Wales

    You cannot use a Section 21 notice if any of the following apply:

    it’s less than 4 months since the tenancy started, or the fixed term has not ended, unless there’s a clause in the contract which allows you to do this
    the property is categorised as a house in multiple occupation (HMO) and does not have a HMO licence from the council
    the tenancy started after April 2007 and you have not put the tenants’ deposit in a deposit protection scheme
    the tenancy started after November 2016 and you do not have a landlord licence.

    Giving tenants a Section 21 notice

    In England, use form 6a if the tenancy was started or renewed after 30 September 2015. You can also write your own Section 21 notice.

    In Wales, you must explain in writing that you are serving an eviction notice under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1998.


    Does mum comply?

    One way to get a tenant more able to move out is to offer them the option of moving out on any date during the notice period and only paying rent up to that date.

    Tenants are often stuck because they still have to pay that last 2 months, while trying to secure another home and having to pay rent on that too. Having to pay two rents means a tenant is more likely to leave it to the last minute, and/or panic and dither as they cannot afford to pay two rents.

    Yes, as far as we can ascertain Mum is aware of and complies with the conditions which would enable her to apply for a S21.

    So she attended the landlord training required to allow her to get her licence?

    Why would Mam have to attend a landlords course when she did a course online?

    Blimey, it's like pulling teeth! So, yes, she did attend one - online.

    But it didn't cover the basics such as this...? That's pretty damn useless licencing, then.

    Perhaps completed rather than attended might have caused less confusion, and why so aggressive? My Mam believed she knew what to do, if you bothered to read the OP, just wanted confirmation..

    Asking a bunch a strangers on a forum rather than doing basic research by looking on the official website as above is also curious don't you think?


    I hope she complies with all the associated regulations to ensure the notice is valid?
