Paragraph 8 F1
If, not later than the beginning of a tenancy (in this paragraph referred to as “the earlier tenancy”), the landlord gives such a notice in writing to the tenant as is mentioned in any of Grounds I to 5 in Part I of this Schedule, then, for the purposes of the ground in question and any further application of this paragraph, that notice shall also have effect as if it had been given immediately before the beginning of any later tenancy falling within sub-paragraph (2) below.
Subject to sub-paragraph (3) below, sub-paragraph (1) above applies to a later tenancy—
which takes effect immediately on the coming to an end of the earlier tenancy; and
which is granted (or deemed to be granted) to the person who was the tenant under the earlier tenancy immediately before it came to an end; and
which is of substantially the same dwelling-house as the earlier tenancy.
Sub-paragraph (1) above does not apply in relation to a later tenancy if, not later than the beginning of the tenancy, the landlord gave notice in writing to the tenant that the tenancy is not one in respect of which possession can be recovered on the ground in question.
