My tenant has lived in the property i want to sell for 20

thank you. On that basis, she would have assured short hold tenancy and has no security of tenure. however, if the original agreement has been lost, you will not be able to use the accelerated possession procedure but will need to use the standard possession process.

you can provide the tenant with notice using the following form:

You will need to ensure before you receive a form that you have protected any deposit within 30 days of receipt or if you didn't, that you return the deposit to her, that you have provided her with an energy performance certificate to the property and gas safety certificate all the notice may be invalid.

Under the coronavirus act, the present notice. That is required to be given a six months unless the tenant is more than six months in arrears. Following expiry of the six-month notice period, you can then after 10 that bring possession proceedings in the County Court. these notice periods presently are set to last until the end of March. If they are not extended, then the notice periods drop to their standard notice period of two clear months notice then no minimum further period before proceedings can be brought. If they are extended of course, then they may either remain the longer periods of notice as above or be varied in some way.

after the requisite. Notice, possession claim can be brought by completing the following form:

if you decide to give notice before the end of March, the current notice period, unless she is six months or more in arrears with rent, is six months and the above conditions including the above form must be used or the notice may be invalid. As things stand, the additional notice periods are due to end on 31st March and they will then drop down to the standard two month period of notice unless the coronavirus restrictions are extended in respect of the moratorium for renters

I'm glad the above answers all your questions. If there is anything else I can help with please reply back to me otherwise thank you very much for visiting JustAnswer and I hope we will see you again in the future.

My pleasure.

The requirement is to serve a valid EPC on the tenant before issuing Eviction notice not that the tenancy must be minimum compliance. However it is from April last year an offence to rent a building below E applying from that date also to existing tenancies and local authority can take enforcement action.

the energy performance certificate last 10 years so if the current certificate is less than 10 years you can simply serve that. If it is older than 10 years, you would need to obtain a new one.

Providing it is less than 10 years old it can be used

All the best
