At the end of the fixed term

If you want to end your tenancy when the fixed term period is ending, you need to give at least 14 days notice. This notice can be given up to and including the last day of the fixed term.

After the fixed term

If you want to end your tenancy after the fixed term has ended, and you have not signed another agreement, you need to give at least 21 days notice.

When a property is put up for sale

If your landlord notifies you of their intention to sell the property during the fixed term of your tenancy, you can end your agreement by giving at least 14 days’ notice. No penalty applies.

This does not apply if before you entered into the tenancy agreement, your landlord let you know a contract for sale was being prepared.

Getting notice from the landlord

If your landlord serves you with a termination notice, you can move out any time before the notice ends. If you were given notice because of the end of the fixed term, you are responsible for paying the rent until the last day of the lease. Otherwise no further rent is payable from the day you leave.
