About this document
Excluding security of tenure used to be a laborious task, achieved by joint court application. A procedure brought in during 2004 is much simpler to follow.
The landlord must serve a notice on the tenant at least 14 days before the proposed tenancy is entered into or before there is a binding lease agreement.
All the tenant need to do is making a simple declaration to say he has received and read the warning notice from the landlord and has accepted the consequences of entering into a lease agreement which includes a provision to remove his right to security of tenure.
This simple form does not need to be sworn before a solicitor nor does it need to be witnessed.
This pack contains all you need in order to set up a lease that excludes security of tenure under the 2004 regulations. It can either be used as is, or can be used in conjunction with our Forms to surrender a tenancy.
Contents
- Prescribed form of notice to be served as the “14 day health warning” for a new lease
- Prescribed form of declaration for a new lease
- Statutory declaration - if less than 14 days notice is given
- Paragraph to be inserted in lease (already contained in all Net Lawman leases)
