Regulation 6 Transitional provision relating to regulation 2: Ground 4A notice period

This regulation applies if, during the period beginning with 1st May 2026 and ending with 30th July 2026, a landlord under an existing tenancy (or in the case of joint landlords, at least one of the landlords) serves a notice under section 8(2) of the 1988 Act (notice of proceedings for possession) and that notice specifies Ground 4A in Schedule 2 to that Act^f1.

The period specified in the table in section 8(4AA) of the 1988 Act^f2 for that notice, in so far as it applies to Ground 4A, has effect as if “two months” were substituted for “four months”.

In this regulation, the term “landlord” is to be construed in accordance with section 45 of the 1988 Act (interpretation of Part 1).
