Notice not to renew

  • It would however be polite to give them the 1 month notice - ie before 14th March if you intend to leave on 14th April. But politely point out you are only doing this as a courtesy.
    I'm not a lawyer, so this is just my opinion. Don't go acting on legal advice you get from a stranger on the internet!
  • Perfect. Thanks for the help everyone, much appreciated.
  • Just seen the following which seems to suggest having to give upto 2 months notice:

  • Not giving any notice to leave at the end of a fixed-term will mean that the landlord/agent will not have the opportunity to carry out the check-out inventory on the last day. This could bring you all sorts of problems over the deposit if you don't take dated photographs of EVERYTHING.

    If you're not happy with the advice given on this thread and want to pay attention to the gov website which states "up to" two month's notice, just give your landlord two month's notice and be done with it.

    Yes, sadly the gov has no real idea of the law.

    Thank god we have an independent judiciary!

    Apologies, when you see something on the Goverment's website it's hard not to question what other people are saying.

    Like i say I dont mind giving 1 months notice, I just would rather not do 2 as per my 1st post.

    I don't blame you.

    I have just provided feedback to the gov website suggesting the amend their advice.

    Let's wait and see.....

    There are errors everywhere on the gov.uk website.
    One has to wonder how and by whom these articles were written...

    Nah! He's probobly a tenant who's had trouble with a landlord, and learnt what's what.

    More likely someone who's never been a tenant in their life......
