AI summary
To end a periodic tenancy, you must provide at least 28 days' written notice to your landlord. This notice must include the address, tenancy end date, and your signature.
Ending a fixed-term tenancy early requires landlord agreement, assigning the lease to a new tenant, or special circumstances like family violence. You can also apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for severe hardship. The government plans to reduce the notice period for periodic tenancies to 21 days.
