My only concern about the 14 day warning notice, in terms of rent arrears, is that sometimes the welfare officer is late in giving the tenant the money required. I have experience of this happening. I am concerned that if there is a 14 day warning, the tenant will not have enough time to get the money required. The normal notice period is 28 days to quit the tenancy. Therefore, is a notice period of 14 days too short? That is my main worry in giving enough scope in that regard. My experience tells me otherwise.
