Do you have to leave a student tenancy in the summer?
Eviction notices before 1 May 2026
Your landlord might have given you a section 21 notice or a section 8 notice.
Your tenancy did not change on 1 May if the notice is valid.
If you stayed past the end of the notice
Your landlord could apply to court for an order to make you leave.
The latest date they could do this was 31 July 2026.
If your landlord missed this deadline:
the eviction notice is not valid
you now have an assured tenancy
If you get letters from the court
This means your landlord has applied for a court order to make you leave.
More on staying after the notice ends.
