Section 21 Correct Dates

Good Evening,

Just checking in to see if the section 21 is valid as I am told the dates need to be exactly 2 months, not 1 month and 30 days.

Section 21 served on 7th May and ends 6th July, I am told it is invalid as the date needs to be 7th July and court proceedings can commence on 8th July, can anyone confirm this?

Thank you!

It should be 7th July
Legal counsel will always advise give the tenant an extra week
Courts don’t look favourably on just two months ( delays in service etc)

Thank you for that.

Just to confirm, as the date on the S21 notice is 6th July, that means it is invalid and new notice needs to be served?

Yes, its a day short as 7th May had already begun when you served and you are therefore short of the 2 month minimum period. Incidentally, if you serve the notice by post you must add at least a couple of days for postage.
