Yes and no. The Court Form 6a is notification that the landlord wants to evict you using Section 21 of the Housing Act. This covers no fault evictions. 

The first thing to do is check whether the notice you have been given on Form 6a is valid. Use this link: How to check a section 21 notice is valid - Shelter England - Shelter England

Call Shelter's helpline, your local Citizens Advice or come back here if you are not sure about what any of the advice on the webpage means. 

Then have a read of the link at the bottom of that webpage. The link is called 'Staying after a section 21 notice'.

Then have a read of the rest of the information on Shelter's website about Section 21 Eviction. 

Unfortunately, the end result is likely to be that the landlord can evict you, but you can use your understanding of the process to delay your evicition. Be aware that many local authorities require you to wait until court baillifs come to evict you from the property, before they will regard you as homeless and in need of temporary accomodation. It may suit you to move out sooner than that if you can do so. 

You mentioned that your home is in supported accommodation. Have you spoken to the people who provide you with support about this notice? They are likley to work for your landlord, and may have a limited ability to support you in this matter, but it would be as well to ask for any support they can give you.

As @tacpot12 says, form 6a is what landlords complete when they want to issue a tenant with an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST).  A section 21 notice must give you at least 2 months notice so if the notice you have received only gives you 30 days then it is invalid.  Are you positive that you have an AST and not a licence to occupy since you live in supported housing?

If you are being evicted, the local authority may have a duty to rehouse you.

In any case, if that is indeed a S21 notice, and if it is valid, it will take 6 or more months for the process to go through to evict you.

Did you do anything to moderate the concerns that were raised last year?

From reading some of the OP's other threads/replies I'm not sure if they will come back and post... but. 

I would highlight a comment on the other thread for the OP again - if they are being evicted because of their failure to comply with their tenancy (causing a noise nuisance) then the council can consider that intentional homelessness and refuse to assist with rehousing; It can take time for you to be evicted by the court, but when it happens then you will have to find your own accommodation. 

More information here: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/homelessness/intentionally_homeless

If this is the situation behind your OP, the best advice I can offer is to contact your landlord now, apologise for your antisocial behaviour and ask for a second chance.

If they say yes, then do not allow yourself to repeat the behaviour as you are very unlikely to get a third chance. 

Depending on how you have acted to date, be prepared to control your reaction if they say no - then ask if they can give you an extension/some time or help to find alternative accommodation. 

Worst case scenario this might buy you a few extra months on top of the time it would take to evict under S21.
