Common mistakes
- ✗Using N8 for a one-time late payment — you need a pattern of 3+ late payments
- ✗Confusing N8 with N5 — N5 is for unauthorized sublets/occupants
- ✗Not documenting each late payment instance with dates and amounts
- ✗Serving the notice mid-term without correct end-of-term termination date
