Tenancy Handbook EBOOK

Vacating

We’re sorry to see you go! Here’s everything you need to know about notice periods, moving out and your bond return.

Notice Periods

Fixed Term Your lease won’t automatically end on the expiry date.

You (or your Property Manager) must give 30 days’ written notice to end the agreement on expiry. If you wish to leave earlier, you will need to “break lease” see below

Periodic Lease If no notice is given by either party at the end of a fixed term, the lease continues as periodic. You must provide 21 days’ written notice to vacate. The Owner must provide 60 days’ written notice if they wish to end the lease.

Ending your tenancy early

If you need to vacate before your lease ends (breaking lease):

You’ll remain responsible for rent and marketing costs until a new tenant is secured and the new lease begins.

Our team will do our best to help minimise your costs by advertising promptly and working to find a suitable replacement tenant as soon as possible.

Please contact your Property Manager as early as you can to discuss your situation and next steps.
