Item 1.02   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership (the  "Registrant"),  a South Carolina
limited  partnership,  owns Rocky Creek Apartments  ("Rocky Creek"),  a 120-unit
apartment  complex  located in Augusta,  Georgia.  As previously  disclosed,  on
October 20, 2005, the Registrant and two other  partnerships  that own apartment
complexes (together with the Registrant,  the "Selling  Partnerships"),  entered
into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the "Purchase Agreement") with a third party,
Chartwell Augusta,  LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"),
to sell the three apartment  complexes owned by the Selling  Partnerships to the
Purchaser  for a total  sales  price of  $22,900,000,  of which  $4,450,000  was
allocated to Rocky Creek.  Each of the Selling  Partnerships  is affiliated with
AIMCO  Properties,  L.P., an affiliate of the corporate  general  partner of the
Registrant.

Under the terms of the Purchase  Agreement,  the  Purchaser  may  terminate  the
Purchase Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the feasibility period
as defined in the  Purchase  Agreement.  On December  19,  2005,  the  Purchaser
delivered  written  notice of its election to terminate  the Purchase  Agreement
pursuant to its terms.
