Serving Deregulation Documents
| Infosheet
Until the Renters’ Rights Bill becomes law, Section 21 remains the most efficient route to regain possession — but it’s also the easiest to get wrong.
We’ve created a practical infosheet to guide agents and landlords through the correct process for serving Deregulation Documents, which must be in place before issuing a valid Section 21 notice. This includes the Gas Safety Certificate, EPC, and the most recent version of the How to Rent guide.
Failing to serve these correctly could invalidate the notice — leading to costly delays, legal setbacks, and significant disruption.
The infosheet also breaks down the recent Khan v D’Aubigny case and offers best practice tips on service method, timing, and maintaining accurate records.
