What notice period applies when ending a tenancy based on how long I have rented the property?

A RentWise Team Answered by

For a tenant ending a tenancy, the notice period is 28 days for less than six months, rising to 35 days (6–12 months), 42 days (1–2 years), 56 days (2–4 years), 84 days (4–8 years) and 112 days after eight years. If a landlord is ending the tenancy, the periods are generally 90, 152, 180, 196 or 224 days, depending on the tenancy’s length. Notice must be given in the required written form, and a fixed-term agreement may affect when a tenant can leave. Check the RTB’s current guidance or ask a solicitor about your circumstances.
