If a tenant wants to leave
A tenant must give their landlord written notice if they plan to move out. The proper form for this notice (Form N9) is available from the Board. The amount of notice that is required is based on the rental period, as follows:
If the tenant: | then the tenant must give: | and the termination date must be: |
pays rent on a daily orweekly basis, | at least 28 days notice, | the end of a weekly rental period. (This only applies to weekly tenancies.) |
pays rent on a monthlybasis, | at least 60 days notice, | the end of a monthly rental period. |
has a lease for a fixed term, | at least 60 days notice, | no earlier than the last day of the lease. |
A tenant and landlord can agree to end a tenancy early. The parties can make an oral agreement to end the tenancy, but it is best to have a written agreement. A notice of termination does not have to be given by either the landlord or the tenant if there is an agreement to end the tenancy.
A tenant in a care home can end a tenancy early, by giving at least 30 days notice in writing to the landlord.
