So, seeking her best position she could serve a NTQ now dated on the day of the start of the SPT, which would be effective? To end it after the 1 month of SPT. As I understand it the Act does not stipulate whether or not the day served counts as Day 1?

The Housing Act 1988 makes no reference to how a tenant can end a SPT (an oversight in the drafting is the general concencus!), so it is dependant on common law:

A lot of great advice here many thanks.
She was granted a non molestation order and occupancy is due to be heard on 22nd January. She only has the clothes that she was wearing when she fled.
The LL has asked for a key but not received it as yet, he has gone to another county to his other property for the weekend anyway. Police are aware of the situation and have provided log numbers. She doesn't have any joint financial arrangements with him and she has changed all passwords etc where she needs to.
He was so controlling and possessive he restricted her life to the extent that she gave up employment (at his insistence) and was entirely dependent on him. So, she has no money of her own.
It's complicated and messy'The only thing that helps me keep my slender grip on reality is the friendship I have with my collection of singing potatoes'

Yes I spotted this today as well!
After further research on t'internet, we've discovered another route we may be able to go down - DVPN/DVPO.
My daughter never reported the violent incidents to the police and went straight to Women's Aid which resulted in the non molestation order etc.
Next move is to contact local constabulary to see if she can obtain a DVPN with the evidence she has. That way she can access the property and he can be removed.'The only thing that helps me keep my slender grip on reality is the friendship I have with my collection of singing potatoes'
