Advice Landlord News Landlord News Landlords Questions Selective Licensing Tenant Eviction

Hello, Property118 readers according to Section 75 and 98 of the 2004 Housing Act, it appears a section 21 is valid if the application for a selective license is made but has not yet been granted. Same interpretation from Shelter’s website.

My question is having served a valid 21 notice, can or will its validity die/expire if the council refuse to grant a license until remedial work is carried out?

Any help would be appreciated,

Shaun
