Form 2: Demystified!
This guide unpacks Form 2, used by landlords or tenants to refer a notice proposing different terms for a statutory periodic tenancy in the UK to the housing tribunal. Understanding its sections and nuances can be crucial in navigating tenant-landlord disputes.
What is a Statutory Periodic Tenancy?
It arises when a fixed-term of an assured tenancy, assured shorthold tenancy (AST), or assured agricultural occupancy ends, and no new agreement is reached. This form applies if either party disagrees with the proposed new terms.

Section 9:
Mention if there's a written tenancy agreement and attach it if applicable.
Section 10:
Sign and date the form, specifying your role (landlord/tenant/agent) and providing your complete contact information.
Attach a copy of the notice proposing changes and submit the form to the tribunal.
