Notice periods

afternoon guys,

I'm after a bit of help regarding notice periods.

When i took out my tenency 4 years ago it started on the 12th of Feb. as i get paid on the 15th i wanted to move the rent date to the 17th this was done by me paying for a month a 5 days up front instead of just the first month. my rent has since then gone out on the 17th.

i have just been to give notice on the property and the agent said that my notice was incorrect because i had the date i would be leaving the property down as the 11th not the 16th.

although it doesnt make a great deal of difference i want to be out of the house ASAP. who is right? as my tenance states that the start is the 12th not the 17th.

Thanks.
Colin.

  • The short answer is you are correct.
    Going by what you are saying you just moved your payment date by a few days, the AST start date would still be the same.


    Regards,
