Series: Estates Gazette ; [2002] 42 EG 162-168(7) | Court of Appeal (Civil Division) ; [2002] EWCA Civ 719Publication details: 2002Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: CA 23 May 2002. Concerns a tenancy agreement dated 4 August 1995. The respondent landlord (Y) granted the appellant tenant (N) a tenancy of a flat. At issue was whether N's tenancy, as Y argued, was an assured shorthold tenancy by the service of a notice under the Housing Act 1988 s20. CC held that the tenancy was an assured shorthold tenancy, which had commenced on 1 August 1995, before the service of a s20 notice. Y's appeal was granted. The trial judge had been wrong to find that the tenancy had begun on 1 August, and made a declaration that N had been entitled to an assured shorthold tenancy starting 4 August. N appealed, contending inter alia, that a s20 notice, could not be served on an agent of the tenant. Appeal dismissed.
