About Section 21 Notices

A Section 21 notice is the no-fault eviction notice English landlords use to recover possession of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). Form 6A is the prescribed form. Notice period: 2 months minimum. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 changed the regime: from 1 May 2026 new tenancies are assured periodic and Section 21 does not apply to them, and notices for tenancies that began earlier are subject to the transitional rules. DraftRight’s AI tier applies those rules and checks the validity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Section 21 notice?

A no-fault possession notice under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Landlords use it to end an AST without giving a reason.

How much notice do I have to give?

At least two months. The notice must be in the prescribed form (Form 6A in England).

Are there things that can invalidate a Section 21?

Yes — failure to protect the deposit, missing prescribed information, no EPC, no gas safety certificate, retaliatory eviction, and the new RRA 2025 transitional rules. DraftRight checks for these.

Can I still serve a Section 21 in 2026?

Only for a tenancy that began before 1 May 2026, while the transitional rules allow it. From 1 May 2026 new tenancies are assured periodic under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, and Section 21 does not apply to them.

Can I generate a Section 21 on the Free tier?

No. Section 21 generation needs Pro or Elite, because the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 transition makes validity checking essential. The Free tier covers other templates.
