If You Want to Move Out (Month-to-Month)

For a month-to-month tenancy, you must give at least one month's written notice, ending at the end of a rental period. Give it before the month you want to leave begins.

Fixed-Term Leases

A fixed-term lease ends on its end date. If you stay past it without a new agreement, it typically continues as a month-to-month tenancy under the same one-month notice rules.

When the Landlord Ends a Tenancy

A landlord needs a valid reason and the right notice, for example:

Unpaid rent: a Notice to Vacate of at least 15 days — you can usually cancel it by paying within 7 days.
Other grounds (owner use, breach): set notice periods apply.
The notice must be in writing, dated, and state the reason.

What Makes a Notice Valid

Any notice must be in writing, dated, name the rental, and give the correct end date. A defective notice can be challenged through the Residential Tenancies Tribunal — read it carefully before acting.
