Can I move out before my notice period ends?

Yes, you can physically move out before your notice period ends. However, leaving early does not automatically end the tenancy or stop rent becoming due.

If you want your legal responsibility to end sooner, ask whether we can agree an earlier termination date in writing.

Before leaving early

• Confirm the valid tenancy end date.
• Ask us about any written agreement to shorten the notice.
• Check when rent & other agreed charges remain payable.
• Arrange to remove belongings & return all keys.
• Complete the inventory & move-out process.
• Record the final meter readings for services you pay.

In England, a tenant-requested early termination payment cannot exceed the rent we would otherwise have received up to the end of the required notice period. Other statutory restrictions may apply.

For Dublin, an agreed fixed-term contract & Irish notice rules affect the position.

We can discuss practical arrangements, but a new occupant moving in is not something you should assume automatically releases you from existing obligations. Get any revised date confirmed in writing.
