My question is answered partly by the area on section 21(4)a, I am however wondering why the 2 month perios on serving notice.

read moreLate Rent Payment
My tenant is late paying their rent (was due 3 weeks ago). I initially left two phone messages about the arrears of which they have not responded to. They have a guarantor in the original AST agreement that was signed nearly 1 year ago. What is the best way to proceed?
