When does the notice period start if I send my landlord a letter or email or text message?

Question

Accepted Answer

The law gives timeframes for when it considers that a person has received a written notice. The times differ depending on how the document is delivered…
They are:
• *In person* = that day.
• *By email or fax before 5pm* = that day.
• *By email or fax after 5pm* = the next working day.
• *Posted to an address or PO Box* = 4 working days after posting.
• *Hand delivered to a letterbox or attached securely to the person’s door* = 2 working days after delivery.
