you know when you giving Notice of possession, section 21(4)a
if i was to hand this to the tenant in person, what form do i need as proof that i served the notice?

am i correct in saying if it goes to court, they will need proof that it was givin to the tenant?

thanks

A signature off the tenant and/or a witness. A better way to do it is to post it and get a certificate of posting.

You don't have to prove the tenant got it, you have to prove to the courts that it was served. As Mr shed says take it to the post office and obtain proof of postage, you can go one step further and go to a different post office and do the same in sending the notice, obtain proof of postage on the same day.

There is plenty of case law about serving a notice, once its posted it is deemed served, regardless if the tenant claims they didn't get it.
