Everything you need to know to make sure you can leave your tenancy smoothly
AI summary
To end a periodic tenancy, you must provide at least 28 days' written notice to your landlord. This notice must be signed and include the property address and tenancy end date.
Ending a fixed-term tenancy early requires your landlord's written agreement or assigning the tenancy to a new tenant. Special exceptions apply for:
- Family violence
- Severe financial hardship
- Unexpected large rent increases
If you cannot reach an agreement, you can apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for assistance.
