AI summary
To end a periodic tenancy, you must provide at least 28 days' written notice. This notice must be signed and include the tenancy address and end date.
Ending a fixed-term tenancy early is not usually possible, but exceptions include:
- Mutual agreement with your landlord (in writing)
- Assigning the tenancy to a suitable new tenant
- Special circumstances like family violence
You can also apply to the Tenancy Tribunal to end a tenancy due to severe hardship.
