For users of the TFP documents we have uploaded revised versions of the section 21 and section 8 notices this morning. Remember that what counts is the date of service so if a notice was posted Thursday or Friday it would need to have been the new notice so may need reserving. Just to repeat our advice at this uncertain time, we recommend you avoid serving notice and get the solicitor doing the court work to serve it as part of the process.

Revised technical guidance on notice serving is here.

Today legislation has been laid before Parliament amending notice periods for section 8 and section 21 notices. It can be found here https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/914/contents/made. A press release can explaining it can be found here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-has-changed-the-law-so-most-renters-have-a-6-month-notice-period.
In simple terms the section 21 notice has been extended to 6 months and the section 8 notice has been altered so that different grounds have different notice periods. These are now anything from no notice (ground 14 anti social behaviour) to six months long.
