Quick Take

Practitioners issuing s 129 notices should ensure the notice informs the tenant of a reasonable time to remedy the default in accordance with Sch 6; if it does so, any specific time period stated will be treated as surplusage and will not invalidate the notice if that period is unreasonable.
