Giving notice of leaving

All tenants are required to give notice to leave the tenancy agreement. The Renters Rights Act 2025 legally changed some details of this on the 1st May 2026, so this might be different to what is written in your AST.  

Assured Periodic Tenancies

All tenancies became Assured Periodic Tenancies on the 1st May 2026.

From the 1st May 2026, your tenancy agreement is periodic. You can give notice at any time, so that your tenancy ends on the first or last day of your rental period, providing it's a minimum of two full rental periods.

Rental period

Rental Period means the time between Rent due dates on your original AST or APT. For example, when the tenancy is monthly and the tenancy agreement start date was the 10th of the month, the Rental Period will be from the 10th to the 9th of the following month, each month. You may have requested a change to your rent payment date, but that does not change the Rental Period. Please check your AST or APT to confirm.
