The Section 21 Notice to Quit (Form 6A) is retained by The Landlord Association (TLA) as a legacy possession notice reference document for eligible members. Section 21 notices cannot be newly served on or after 1 May 2026 under the Renters’ Rights Act framework, so this document should not be used as a current possession route.

Important legacy notice

This document is for historic, transitional, audit, training or legal-review reference only. It should only be considered where a Section 21 notice was served before the Renters’ Rights Act changes took effect and where the timing, validity, service method and transitional position need to be reviewed.

Included with eligible TLA Membership

Standalone non-member value: £9

Purpose & Use Case

This document may be useful where a landlord, letting agent or property manager needs to review historic Section 21 paperwork, understand previous Form 6A notice requirements, or assess whether a no-fault possession notice was prepared or served before the relevant legal change.

It should not be used for newly serving notice after 1 May 2026. Members should instead review the current statutory possession grounds and consider whether a Section 8 notice or another legally appropriate route is required.

Who Should Use This Document?

  • Landlords reviewing historic or transitional Section 21 notice records
  • Letting agents checking older Form 6A paperwork for client files
  • Property managers organising possession-related tenancy documents
  • Members preparing historic paperwork before requesting legal review or possession support

When Should It Be Used?

Use this document only where a historic or transitional Section 21 issue needs to be reviewed in context. This may include tenancy files where a notice was served before 1 May 2026, possession paperwork already in progress, or legal support preparation where older no-fault possession paperwork remains relevant.

Before taking any action based on historic Section 21 paperwork, members should check the date of service, expiry date, court deadline, deposit position, prescribed information, required documents, service method and any transitional rules affecting the notice.

Additional Support

⚖️ Possession Notice Review

Section 21 and Form 6A issues should be reviewed carefully because older possession paperwork can be affected by tenancy dates, deposit protection, prescribed information, service requirements, document history, court deadlines and transitional rules.

  • Review of historic or transitional Section 21 paperwork
  • Support with possession notice evidence and tenancy file organisation
  • Legal partner review where a possession matter requires formal advice
