A notice to a prospective tenant of an assured shorthold tenancy that the landlord may seek to rely on grounds 1 to 5 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1988 when recovering possession of the property.

The notice must be served before the tenancy is entered into.

The notice relates to an assured shorthold tenancy of premises in England. The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 came into force on 1 December 2022 and introduced a new form of rental agreement known as an occupation contract. Subject to certain criteria, residential lettings and licences of premises in Wales granted on or after 1 December 2022 will be occupation contracts and not assured shorthold tenancies. Pre-existing residential lettings and licences became converted occupation contracts on 1 December 2022.
