Document background
The Notice to Vacate the Property is a crucial document in the English and Welsh residential letting process, used when a landlord wishes to regain possession of their property. It must be served in accordance with strict legislative requirements, including minimum notice periods and specific formatting rules. The notice can be issued either as a Section 21 'no-fault' notice at the end of a fixed-term tenancy, or as a Section 8 notice when there are specific grounds for seeking possession, such as rent arrears or breach of tenancy terms. The document forms the first step in the legal process of regaining possession and must be properly served to be valid in court proceedings.
