We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

does it mean it cannot be served by email?canaldumidi said:'Serve' means when it arives,not when is is sent.1st class mail is (legally) assumed to arrive 2 working days later, so posting today (13th) means it will be served on Tuesday 17th.Since periods run from 16th to 15th, that means the full tenancy period notice will run from 16th June and expire on 15th July.If seved by hand today (13th), the full tenancy period notice will run from 16th May and expire on 15th June.Alternatively serve by hand tomorrow (14th) or Sunday (15th).

Your earlier post in the thread says that it must be served to an address by hand or by post...? Take it there by hand today if you can. Unless someone else here can advise you on the email thing.

I'm just going off what you posted earlier, but you didn't mention an email address which could be used to serve notices? I'd re-check your TA to make sure. If there's no mention of an email address, then a physical letter will be required, with the practical problems as discussed in previous posts.JohnBravo said:

I'd be tempted to deliver by hand, but film it being delivered, assuming there is no one there to receive it in person. Then you can send an email with the video showing that you served the notice. I can't see why a court wouldn't accept that.
