Everything you need to know to make sure you can leave your tenancy smoothly

AI summary
To end a periodic tenancy, tenants must provide at least 28 days' written notice. Be aware the government plans to reduce this to 21 days.
Ending a fixed-term tenancy early is more complex and usually requires the landlord's written agreement. Other options include:
- Assigning the tenancy to a suitable new tenant
- Applying to the Tenancy Tribunal for severe hardship
- Giving two days' notice in cases of family violence
Always communicate agreements in writing to avoid disputes.
