Hello
I am planning to serve both a section 21 and section 8 notice. Do I put the date the notice is served as the date that I post it, or the day that I plan to hand-deliver it? (The tenancy started on 7/3/19 and the TA states that ‘notices shall be deemed served the day after being left at the property’.)
Thanks

Where serving both hand and post (which is a good idea) both must be done on the same day and that will be the date. When the post actually delivers is irrelevant. The date on the proof of postage should be the same date as hand delivering.
Ignore the term in the tenancy about deemed delivery because court rules say it will be delivered the 2nd business day (for post) and it’s unclear whether the contract can reduce this time.
Ok thanks. So as the monthly tenancy period ends on 6th Jan, should I serve the notice 4 days before, ie 2nd Jan?
