Giving notice

How much notice must I give, and from when?

A tenant's notice runs from 28 days under six months to 112 days after eight years. Enter your start date and the tool gives your period, the earliest date you can lawfully leave if you serve today, what a fixed-term lease changes, and a notice letter in your own words.

Leaving

How long you have been there, and when you want to go

The tool does not know the terms of a fixed-term lease beyond its end date. It never advises leaving without notice.

Information, not advice. This tool applies the published rules to the dates and figures you enter. It does not say whether a notice is valid, whether a deduction is lawful or what the RTB will decide: those turn on facts and evidence the RTB weighs.
