Section 48 Notice Template
The simple notice with an outsized consequence - until you've given tenants an address for serving notices, rent isn't legally due. Get it right with a free template.
Download the Notice Template
Under Section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, every landlord in England and Wales must give tenants an address where legal notices can be served. Miss it, and rent isn't lawfully due until you put it right - and arrears claims can fail with it.
This free template lets you serve a valid notice in minutes, or check the one you've already got.
In this free template you'll be able to:
- Serve a valid Section 48 notice with the correct wording and address requirements
- Understand why rent isn't legally payable until this notice has been given
- Avoid the common mistakes - like using an email address or a PO box - that invalidate it
- Check whether your tenancy agreement already satisfies Section 48, and what to do if it doesn't
