Notice to Quit
To legally terminate
a Short Assured Tenancy in Scotland at the expiry of the tenancy, the
landlord must send the tenant three forms: a Notice to Quit, an
AT6 form and a Section 33 Notice.
A Notice to Quit is a written document served by a landlord on a tenant
or a tenant on a landlord and has the effect of bringing the contractual
tenancy agreement to an end on its natural expiry.
The required period of notice for serving
a Notice to Quit depends on the length of the current tenancy period.
If the tenancy is for more than 4 months, the notice period is a
minimum of 40 days. If the tenancy is for 4 months or less, the
notice period is one-third of the tenancy period, subject to a minimum
of 28 days.
It is recommended
that all three forms are sent at the same time by recorded delivery.
The notices must be sent at least 2 months before the tenancy
is due to end (since the notice period for serving a Section
33 Notice and form AT6
is 2 months). If you don't meet that deadline, the tenant may be legally
able to stay on in the house after the agreed date of termination.
