Giving notice on a rented property

Just wondered if this is possible/acceptable.
If a tenancy was signed starting on the first of the month is it possible to give notice mid month as long as you give the required 4 weeks.
We are looking at moving and have found a house which will be available from 8th October. Our rent on this property is due the 1st of every month.
What we want to do is actually have a cross over period of a week so we can move over that week rather than having to move out of one property and into the other on the same day. This would mean giving notice on our current property mid month.
So is it acceptable to give 4 weeks notice and pay the extra days or would the agents only accept notice from the 1st of the month.
There is nothing on out paperwork to say either way and I will of course ring them to find out but just wondered if anyone had done this and given notice mid month.

You need to discuss this with the Agent.
Not really much point second guessing what your agent will or won't agree to.0 -
Perhaps you didnt fully read my post.
As I said, I obviously intend to discuss it with the agent.
The reason I posted was just general curiosity to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation and had been able to give notice mid way through a month. But thank you for your response.0 -
Not enough info.
* which country?
* fixed term tenancy?
* periodic (monthly)?
* periodic (weekly)?
* Contractual Periodic (if so, what does the contract say)?
* Or Statutory Periodic?
But my guess is that
* you can agree anything you want with the landlord/agent provided they agree - confirm it in writing.
* otherwise you probobly need to end the tenancy on the last day of a month, having given a full tenancy period notice (not 4 weeks).
