L2 application: end a tenancy after a notice
The L2 is the application that follows most notices other than the N4: damage, interference, illegal acts, persistent late payment, your own use and renovations. It has a deadline, and it needs the right documents with it.

From you
What the paralegal needs
- The notice and its Certificate of Service
- Your evidence for the reason
- For an N12: the signed declaration
What's filed with it
A copy of the notice, the Certificate of Service and, for some reasons, more: an N12 needs the declaration of the person moving in, and an N13 for repairs needs the qualified person's report. Missing documents get applications refused.
