Giving no fault notice - is it true I can't give notice if tenancy began before Oct 2015?

I want to give a 'no fault' notice to a tenant whose tenancy began in 2013. It is now a statutory periodic tenancy originally AST  for 6 months. I've scoured the legislation and cannot find any process in place if a tenancy began before Oct 2015. Is this really telling me I can't get my property back to sell it?

Pretty sure you can just issue a section 21 - but it will require 6 months notice.

If you are on good terms with your tenant why not just explain you want to sell and ask them to look for another property. By not issuing a section 21 they can be really flexible which they might prefer.

Thankyou. I can find links within the GOV.UK website to form 6A but not a section  21. I was under the impression form 6A and section  21 are different because info states 6A is for tenancies commencing after October 2015. Is this right and if so where can I find a standard section 21.
