    So it's not just one month, which I think was the point.

    No need to start an argument...

    Agreed with all of the above. It's 1 month when done correctly.

    You are wrong.
    It could be 1 month and one day and be correct.
    It could be 1 month and two days and be correct.
    It could be 1 month and three days and be correct.

    I think you get the idea.

    The chances of giving 1 month notice, and it being correct are very slim.

  • As saint I think knows this matter has been discussed before & it is considered by many probable that 1month's notice can be done: But the wise tenant serves notice well in advance to avoid disputes and the disputatious landlord or agent...

    Cheers!

    It is more than probable that it can be done. It can 100% be done.
    I am saying that to give 1 months notice and getting it right is a 1/28-31 chance unless it is planned meticulously. They are not good odds.

    So informing landlords that their tenants "Have to give a months notice" is almost never right.

    Don't forget you need to balance that with the issue of a new tenant. If this one has been good, looked after the place etc, advertising, getting new people in who might not do as able to pay up is always worth considering.


    Yes you are renting for your benefit and sometimes it is better the devil you know and essentially worth 'paying' for that security.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?
