Section 8 notice

[mik1ee]

Hi, my tenant has not paid rent for four months. I think I am right that the updated COVID rules mean that from 01 Jun 2021, 28 days notice is required for possession of my property following delivery of a Section 8 notice (for rent arrears).

I have tenants on an AST lapsed into a statutory periodic, well before October 2015. Is the basic S.21(4)a still served with at least a 3 month period I take it? Also, would the section 8, if I were to serve it, be served the day after the S.21 has lapsed? And do I serve it only after the S.21 has lapsed...
