Terminating a Rental Agreement
A tenancy agreement forms a legally binding contract that can only be terminated through specific procedures. Typically, termination occurs when either the landlord or tenant serves a notice to the other party, and the tenant vacates the property as per the specified date in the notice.
This notice must be provided in writing, and the duration of the notice period depends on the type of agreement (fixed-term or periodic) and the reasons for termination. The notice periods are designed to give both tenants and landlords sufficient time to secure alternative arrangements.
In some cases, the landlord or tenant may seek a termination order directly from the Tribunal without the need for prior notice. This option is available in certain circumstances, but it's essential to follow the legal procedures.
