Deposits and Tenancy Deposit Schemes (England) | Landlord Wants Tenant to Leave (England)

section 21 and prescribed information

PI wasn’t served nor was the actual copy of cert until after 30 days though deposit was protected within first 30 days, does this mean that the deposit needs returning prior to serving s21?

    No, the legislation distinguishes between the seriousness of the two elements.

    In this case, as long as prescribed information has been given before serving the section 21, the notice will be valid.

    Of course, if applied for, the penalty would be payable but that’s a separate issue.
