Ending a tenancy: notice dates and documents

Separate tenant notice, landlord notice, agreed surrender and court documents before calculating dates.

Short answer

The correct notice depends on who is ending the tenancy, the tenancy type and the reason. Do not calculate a deadline from a generic article when an active notice or court document is involved.

What to do next

  1. Identify who gave notice, the stated reason and the tenancy type.
  2. Keep the complete notice and proof of when it was received or sent.
  3. Treat court papers and urgent notices as escalation matters, not calculator inputs.
