[Tenant name], [DD/MM/YYYY]
[Address]
Dear [Name of tenant],
Re: [Address of property to vacate]
I would like to inform you that, by virtue of Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988, I require possession of the above property after [DD/MM/YYYY].
If convenient, I would like to do an initial check of the property, and the inventory, with you on [DD/MM].
This should allow us time to sort out any discrepancies before the end of the tenancy.
On [DD/MM] we can also discuss the exact arrangements for the hand back of the property on [DD/MM].
I hope you’ve been happy in the property and I wish you well for the future.
I will give you a ring shortly to confirm about calling round on [DD/MM].
Yours sincerely,
[Landlord name]
