UK Landlord Forum / Life

Hello all

I am just starting the process of having to serve a section 21 notice (form 6a)

I have read various statements about documents which need to be submitted and I am getting confused if that was at the start of the tenancy or now as part of/with the section 21 notice.

In my case the tenancy started back in 2020 and at the time I gave : How to rent, Gas Safety, EPC , and deposit protection details.

Do I need to re-submit all these documents when i serve the section 21 as the EPC was dated May 2014 so has obviously just ran out ?

Shelter state : The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the current gas safety certificate and a valid energy performance certificate (EPC) before giving notice. The tenant has a defence to court proceedings if the landlord has failed to provide both certificates by the time the notice is given.

Would appreciate any advice or comments.

Thank you for your help and time.

Regards

Mike

The EPC expiring isn't an issue. You have to have given the tenant a copy of the most recent Gas Safety Certificate before serving notice.

There's a sticky thread on this forum called  "Section 21 Flowchart" which is exactly what you're looking for.
