    Where a property requires a licence but hasn’t got one, no section 21 can be served. However, a full and complete (including payment) application is sufficient to serve a section 21 under even if the licence hasn’t been issued.

    Therefore, if there was no licence nor a full and complete application before the section 21 was served, it will be struck out and would probably be cheapest for the landlord to discontinue now and then start again after they’ve got the licence application in (and written confirmation the application has been received and is being processed).
