What could happen as a result?
As outlined in S.83ZA(2) Housing Act 1985: The court must not entertain the proceedings unless the landlord has served on the tenant a notice under this section.
The notice must be in a prescribed form or in a form substantially to the same effect.
‘Substantially to the same effect’
A) A notice completed incorrectly may be held to be substantially to the same effect as a properly completed notice
b) Whether a notice that is completed incorrectly is deemed as substantially to the same effect will depend on the nature of the error.
Judicial Guidance on the issue
A notice should be interpreted on the basis of how it would be understood by the recipient – Pease v Carter [2020] EWCA Civ 175
