Common confusion points
Mistaking Section 15 for another section of the Act; ensure you are certain about the legal basis.
Failing to provide evidence that the termination *was* under S15 (e.g., a notice citing this specific section).
Using the form when the tenancy is ending due to expiry rather than formal Section 15 action.
Confusing the application process with the actual legal judgment; filing it starts the process, it isn't the final decision.
