Guide

Ending a tenancy has different rules for periodic and fixed-term agreements, and for tenants versus landlords. Wrong notice length or unclear wording can create stress later. Tenancy Services provides plain-language guides and forms.

Plan the practical exit: cleaning expectations, keys, meter readings, forwarding address, and bond. Dated photos protect both sides. If you cannot pay rent through to the end date, talk early — silence usually makes outcomes harder.

For disputes about notice or abandonments, use the official dispute pathways rather than informal threats. Not legal advice.
