How much notice do I need to give my landlord?

To end a periodic tenancy, you must give your landlord at least 28 days' written notice. This notice must be signed and include the tenancy address and end date.

Fixed-term tenancies generally cannot be ended early, but exceptions exist. These include reaching a mutual agreement with your landlord, assigning the tenancy to a new person, or in cases of family violence. You can also apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for severe hardship or unexpected large rent increases.
