Your standard procedure for rent arrears needs to be adapted to take account of the new legislation and the above-mentioned forms and, therefore, the problems arising from them. It is important to indicate the correct notice periods. The first day of notice is the day following notification of termination. Therefore, if the termination is served on a Monday, the notice begins from Tuesday. The notice periods required depend on the duration of the lease and the reason for cancelling the termination in certain circumstances. While this is not a specific requirement under the legislation, it may be advisable to give an additional notice of a few days to ensure that the tenant has the required notice period.
