# The Assured Tenancies and Agricultural Occupancies (Forms) Regulations 1997, Paragraph: What to do if this notice is served on you


•This notice is the first step requiring you to give up possession of your home. You should read it very carefully.
•Your landlord cannot make you leave your home without an order for possession issued by a court. By issuing this notice your landlord is informing you that he intends to seek such an order. If you are willing to give up possession without a court order, you should tell the person who signed this notice as soon as possible and say when you are prepared to leave.
•Whichever grounds are set out in section 3 of this form, the court may allow any of the other grounds to be added at a later date. If this is done, you will be told about it so you can discuss the additional grounds at the court hearing as well as the grounds set out in section 3.
•If you need advice about this notice, and what you should do about it, take it immediately to a citizens’ advice bureau, a housing advice centre, a law centre or a solicitor.
