Section 8 Notice

[DianeB]

Could somebody please just confirm to me that the expiry of a Section 8 (usual rent arrears grounds) is two weeks? Is there ever a case where it must be a 6-8 week notice?

Many thanks.

Two weeks after your section 8 notice is served on your tenant you can send the N5 notice with associated documention and £150 fee to the court.

P.P.

[DianeB]

Thank you PP for that.
