Must each tenant be named individually on a Section 21

swingaloo

In a case where there was no actual written tenancy agreement  and there are 3 adult tenants renting a property (It is not an HMO, it is one family) must each of the tenants be named on the Form 6A or is it only necessary to put the name of the tenant from who's bank account the rent is paid.

One tenant is sufficient. 

Are you evicting, receiving notice or supporting a third party?

Thank you for the reply. Im asking on behalf of a third party.

I kind of figured tbh  

Just remember that there's no possession hearings for atleast another 2.5 months; and then a massive backlog.

Yes, thank you. You will have realised its a long ongoing saga with a lot more to it than they want me to reveal on here and so I only ask the questions pertinent at the time. There is an awful lot of background and reasons for them doing what they are doing in trying to stay put as long as possible, its not a case of trying to be awkward, there is much more to it.
 I try not to add to the original thread for straightforward questions as I don't want people to have to wade through it all. 
Latest is that he has finally protected the deposit so he can serve a 6A form but he has fraudulently 'amended' the Deposit Protection Certificate to try to make it look as if he protected the deposit upon receipt so the Form 6A he has served them with is still not valid.
This is about the 4th time he has 'tried' to serve a valid notice.
Thanks for your continuing help.

Not a problem. Just remember that all that needs to happen is the tenants print off a copy of the deposit protection showing it was protected late and the court have no choice but to dismiss the possession hearing.

Thank you, they have got the copy of altered certificate. They also never had any of the prescribed paperwork that should have been given at the start of the tenancy, nor do they have a gas safety certificate and never have had one. 
Thanks again,

Sounds like many arrows in the quiver for this. Best of luck

Suggest they change locks and try to relax a bit.

So, if the tenants have any nous at all, any attempt to serve an S21 notice will fail, until such time as the tenancy is regularised. And of course, the lack of a GSC is a serious criminal offence, with an unlimited fine and a possible prison sentence. 
You are presumably advising the tenants, not the LL?

In your previous thread it became clear that no S21 Notice will be valid, irrespective of who is named on it.

I appreciate that you wish to minimise the information you reveal, but for the future, can you keep all the info you DO reveal in one place (ie in a single thread)? The context helps with responses, plus saves people having to search back to previous threads.....

Thank you for the reply but as I previously said, as I was just asking a stand alone question that didnt require anyone to search back for context. I deliberately didn't add it to the other thread as the context didn't matter and I was trying to save people wading through unnecessary reading. I got the answer to the question asked straight away from Comms69 and had only added the extra bit of detail in my response to them.
