Giving your notice

The named person(s) on the tenancy agreement must make the termination of tenancy request. The notice must be given in writing, as it’s a legal document.

A Power of Attorney or Court Appointed Deputy can instigate the process to end a tenancy. In these circumstances, evidence needs to be provided for the permission to act on their behalf.

If the tenant has passed away, the next of kin should provide a copy of the death certificate to begin the notice period.

What happens next

On receipt of the written notice, we’ll write to you to confirm the end date of your tenancy.

One of our colleagues will then contact you to discuss returning the keys and any other required actions.
