We can still serve under discretionary Grounds 10 and 11 for persistent late payments or lesser arrears.

Unlike Section 21, Section 8 notices can generally still be served, though deposit compliance is strongly advised.

Under standard rent arrears grounds (Grounds 8, 10, 11), the statutory notice period is 14 days.
Do you provide instructions on how to serve the notice legally?
