Paragraph Tenant’s notice proposing that an Assured Tenancy be replaced by an Assured Shorthold Tenancy

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

• Please write clearly in black ink.

• Please cross out text marked with an asterisk (*) that does not apply.

• This notice should only be used by an assured tenant. You should only use this notice to notify your landlord that you wish your assured tenancy to be replaced by an assured shorthold tenancy.

• This notice must be served by a tenant on a landlord before an assured tenancy can be replaced by an assured shorthold tenancy.

•You should be aware that by serving this notice, you will be giving up your right to stay in the property after the first six

months of the assured shorthold tenancy or, if you agree a fixed term with your landlord, after the end of the fixed term.

• You do not have to complete this form even if your landlord has asked you to do so. Your existing security of tenure as an assured tenant will be unaffected if you do not complete it.

• If you are in any doubt about whether to complete this form, take it immediately to a citizens’ advice bureau, housing advice centre, a law centre or a solicitor.

• Once you are clear that you wish to issue this notice, complete the form and send it to your landlord.
