The notice periods are laid down by statute.

• If you want to use grounds 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9 or 17, you must give two months notice. If you are using only the other grounds, you can serve an AT6 form giving two weeks notice.
• If you are seeking to end a short assured tenancy at its end date on the basis of Section 33, you must give at least two months notice on an AT6 form. The date on the AT6 does not need to coincide with the date on the Notice to Quit.
• The landlord has six months from the date on the AT6 form during which court proceedings for eviction can be started.
