Important Information for Landlord and Tenant:
1) The date of possession, in order to be to be valid must satisfy the following criteria: It must be at least six months after the date on which the tenants were entitled to occupy the premises, under the tenancy agreement. AND a) If the tenancy was for a fixed period, it must be on or after, the last day of the fixed period, and at least two months after the date this notice is received by the tenant(s). OR b) If the tenancy is a periodic tenancy, it must be on the last day of the period of the tenancy. (The period is calculated with regard to when the rent is paid, thus if the rent is paid weekly, it is a weekly tenancy, and if paid monthly, it is a monthly tenancy). And at least two months after the date this notice is received by the tenant(s). Additionally, that date must be no earlier than the date on which the tenancy could have been determined by a notice to quit at common law. 2) If the tenant or licensee does not leave the dwelling, the landlord or licensor must get an order for possession from the court before the tenant or licensee can lawfully be evicted. The landlord or licensor cannot apply for such an order before the notice to quit has run out. 3) A tenant or licensee who does not know if he has any right to remain in possession after a notice to quit or notice to determine runs out can obtain advice from a solicitor. Help with all or part of the cost of legal advice and assistance may be available under the Legal Aid Scheme. The Tenant or Licensor should also be able to obtain information from a Citizens Advice Bureau, a Housing Aid Centre or a rent officer.
