How much notice do I need to give to end my tenancy in England?
For a standard assured periodic tenancy in England, you normally need to give two months’ written notice to end it. We cannot require more than two months, & a shorter period may apply under your agreement or if we agree in writing.
When your notice should end
For an assured periodic tenancy started on or after 1 May 2026, the notice must end on the rent due date or the day before. Our standard rent due date is the first of each month, so this will normally mean the first or last day of a month, depending on the agreed schedule.
How to give notice
- Send it in writing, for example by email or letter.
- State your apartment, the date you are giving notice & intended end date.
- Keep a record of when it was sent.
- Check the special arrangements if you are a joint tenant.
- Continue paying rent until the tenancy legally ends.
Tenancies that began before 1 May 2026 can have transitional arrangements affecting the applicable notice period. We will check your actual agreement before confirming a date.
