Article Abstract:
The UK Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, Section 48, obliges landlords to furnish their tenants with an address in England or Wales where notices can be served. A landlord will be found at fault if the given address is only for specific purposes, an address has not be given at all or the address does not belong to a landlord or their agent. A case heard in the UK courts, during 1995, concluded a tenant does not have to be told the address is for suitable for notices to be served as long as an address has been supplied by the landlord.

Article Abstract:
Section 23(1) of the UK Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 and the Section 196 of the UK Law of Property Act 1925 deal with the service of notices between landlord and tenants. The application of the law is not always clear when it is dealing with the service of a notice and whether it is received by the tenant. A number of cases heard in the UK courts seemed to imply the posting a notice by recorded delivery would act as if it had been served even if it is received outside a time-limit, such as for fixed charges.
