As from 1 December 2016
All those acting for Landlords of Assured Tenants (or Assured Tenants) should note that, by Statutory Instrument, a new prescribed form has been specified for use from 1 December 2016.
See The Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms)(England) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2016 and the Schedule to the regulations (for the new form).
As you know, the court will not entertain proceedings for a claim for possession under Ground 8 of the Housing Act 1988 unless a Notice complies with the legislation and is in the prescribed form.
