I recently issued a s21 notice seeking possession after 31.5.20. The notice was issued in early March, i.e. before the new (3 month) rules came into effect on 26.3.20. If the tenant ignores the notice and remains in the property after 31.5.20, but also pays rent monthly (i.e. as in a Statutory Periodic Tenancy), is the s21 notice effectively rescinded? In other words, is it a choice between:
(a) accepting the rent and losing the notice and
(b) not accepting the rent and retaining the power to evict (as and when evictions can take place again) and recovering lost rent via the eviction process?
Or, does the s21 notice remain in place irrespective of whether monthly rent has been paid?
Comments would be appreciated.
