How much notice do I need to give my landlord?

To end a periodic tenancy, tenants must provide at least 28 days' written notice. This notice must include the tenancy address and the date the tenancy will end.

Ending a fixed-term tenancy early is more complex. It generally requires mutual agreement with the landlord, assigning the tenancy to a new person, or special circumstances like family violence. You can also apply to the Tenancy Tribunal to end a tenancy due to severe hardship. Always communicate in writing.
