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.
