About ValidNotice
Who we are, what ValidNotice does for landlords in England, and what we deliberately don't do.
Updated 25 October 2026England only
ValidNotice helps private landlords in England prepare the notices and court forms they now need after the Renters' Rights Act 2025: Section 8 notices on Form 3A, Section 13 rent-increase notices on Form 4A, and the N5 and N119 forms for a possession claim.
ValidNotice is operated by MarketMedia, Centre d'affaires Al Hiba, 10 rue Liberté, Étage 3 Apt 5, Casablanca 20120, Morocco.
Why we built it
On 1 May 2026, "no-fault" Section 21 notices ended for new notices in England. Every landlord who needs a property back now has to use a Section 8 notice and prove a ground for possession, and every rent rise has to go through a Section 13 notice. A wrong date, a missing ground or an out-of-date form can send a landlord back to the start, costing months of rent.
Most landlords own one or two properties and don't have a solicitor on retainer. We built ValidNotice so they can follow the rules correctly without paying solicitor fees for straightforward cases.
What we do
- Ask plain-English questions and suggest the grounds that fit your situation.
- Calculate notice periods, earliest dates and time limits from the rules in force.
- Fill in the official prescribed forms and give you an evidence checklist and a certificate of service.
- Publish free guides and calculators, written from primary sources and checked against the legislation.
What we don't do
- We are not a law firm and we don't give legal advice on your individual case.
- We don't serve notices, sign documents or file court claims for you. You stay in control and act in your own name.
- We don't cover Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, which have different housing law.
If your case is disputed, involves a company let, a disrepair counterclaim or anything unusual, we'll tell you to speak to a solicitor.
