Question Title: Section 48 notice

Question:
87
Section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 requires that an address for service of notice to a landlord is provided to the tenant and that the address is in England and Wales. One of my client landlords rent lets his property in England but resides in Scotland - I do not manage the property for him - this is a let only situation. What address should he give?
Answer:
The landlord has no choice but to appoint some kind of agent for the purpose of supplying details to his tenants of where a notice may be served upon him. This could be a letting agent, accountant or family member for example, but whoever he appoints the address must be in England or Wales.
