This is a new provision which inserts new subsection (7) into section 8 of the Housing Act 1988. The forms for possession are to be used by landlords where possession of accommodation, let under an assured tenancy or an assured agricultural occupancy, is sought on one of the grounds in Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1988. Previously, any updates to forms needed to be made by statutory instrument, rather than being published.
