Restriction On Terminating Tenancies
No Section 21 notice may be given in relation to a shorthold tenancy in respect of part of an unlicensed HMO so long as no licence is in force and no application has been made for a licence. There is a similar provision in respect of the whole or part of a unlicensed house subject to selective licensing.
Without being able to serve a valid Section 21 notice possession cannot be obtained on the notice only "shorthold” basis. However, it would not prevent possession proceedings on other grounds, e.g. rent arrears.
