If a Section 26 form is used, when is the last day parties are allowed apply to the court?
The last day to apply to court is the date proposed for a new tenancy in the Section 26 form. Parties can agree to extend this, but they must do so in writing before the original deadline expires. They can then agree to further extensions, provided they do so before the current extension runs out. If an application is not made in time, the tenant loses the right to renew the tenancy.
