Dear
NOTICE TO QUIT PREMISES AT**
I hereby give you formal Notice to Quit the premises occupied by you at (*property address*) by (*date*).
I would draw your attention to the following information:-
1. Even after the Notice to Quit has run out, before the tenant can Lawfully be evicted, the landlord must get
an order for possession from the court.
2. If a landlord issues a Notice to Quit but does not seek to gain possession of the house in question, the
contractual assured tenancy which has been terminated will be replaced by a Statutory Assured Tenancy. In
such circumstances, the landlord may propose new terms for the tenancy and may seek an adjustment in
rent at annual intervals thereafter.
3. If a tenant does not know what kind of tenancy he/she has, or is otherwise unsure of their rights, they can
obtain advice from a solicitor. Help with all or part of the cost of legal advice and assistance may be
available under the Legal Aid Legislation. A tenant can also seek help from a Citizens Advice Bureau, or
Housing Advisory Centre.
Yours*
