# EXAMPLE: SECTION 8 NOTICE INFORMATION COVER
Date: 20 September 2028
Parties: Cedar Lettings Limited and Thomas Bell
## 1. Important status
This is an illustrative completed information/cover example, not a substitute for a prescribed statutory form or a legal notice. Before use, check the current law (including any changed or abolished procedure), eligibility, dates, service, deposit and licensing requirements, and the correct jurisdiction. The separate prescribed document contemplated here is Form 3, historically used in England for a notice seeking possession under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988. This information cover is not Form 3 and cannot replace it.
## 2. Parties and property
Landlord: Cedar Lettings Limited, 41 Market Street, Nottingham NG1 6HX. Tenant: Thomas Bell. Property: 3A King Street, Nottingham NG7 2DL. The tenancy is recorded as an assured tenancy commencing 2 February 2027.
## 3. Notice or proposal
The proposed notice records grounds 8, 10 and 11: rent arrears of £3,240 as at 20 September 2028, some rent lawfully due and unpaid, and persistent late payment. The rent is £900 monthly due on the second day, and a ledger is attached.
## 4. Checks
The notice information identifies the court sought, the earliest date proceedings may begin and the facts relied upon. Cedar will check the current statutory ground wording, any mandatory pre-action protocol, benefit or vulnerability information and whether the tenancy type permits the route.
## 5. Service and procedure
Cedar checked the deposit scheme, prescribed information, gas-safety record, EPC, current tenant information requirements and property licensing. It will serve the correct prescribed form, particulars and evidence by a legally permitted method and keep a certificate of service.
## 6. Rights and remedies
A notice is not a court order and does not authorise a landlord to change locks. Thomas may pay, propose an affordable plan, dispute the ledger or seek advice; any possession claim is decided by the court and the law at the time.
## 7. Signature and records
Daniel Price signs this illustrative cover for Cedar: Signature ____________________ Date 20 September 2028. The parties must check whether later reforms have changed or abolished section 8 routes, grounds, notice periods or required forms before relying on this example.
