I gave my notice to leave to my landlord last week, but they only just claimed to have received it, what date do I have to leave?

Question

Accepted Answer

When documents are sent between a landlord and tenant (e.g. giving notice to leave your flat), the day that the person *should* receive it is the day that the relevant time period starts, unless you know they received it earlier. E.g. if you send an email after 5pm, the time period starts the next working day, unless you get an email back that evening confirming the landlord received it. These timeframes apply unless the person receiving the document can prove that they didn’t get it within that time.
