Ending a tenancy If you have a lease agreement normally you cannot terminate your tenancy unless your landlord is in breach of his/her obligations. If you break a lease without having reasonable grounds to do so or do not give the correct notice of termination, you may lose your deposit and have to cover expenses such as re-advertising, re-letting costs or lost rent. Where you wish to end your tenancy you must give notice of termination in writing. (Email, text or verbal notice is not valid under the law). The amount of notice you are required to give depends on how long you have been in your tenancy. The normal notice periods are:
