The Court of Appeal answered the questions of whether an agent is able to sign (i) a certificate required as part of the prescribed information relating to tenancy deposits , (ii) a section 8 notice and it reiterated the position on statutory requirements and the validity of notices more generally. Mr Justice Saini had held that the certificate had to be signed by the landlord and section 44 of the Companies Act 2006 operated whereas a section 8 notice could be signed by an agent (even where the "licensor/joint landlords/landlord's agent" portion of the prescribed form had been crossed out) which was discussed in more detail here.
