Leaving an apartment

    Hi all,

    A quick one to throw out there, appreciate if anyone has experience here.
    I am looking at leaving our current rented apartment. We are Tenants there for just over 3 years.

    The initial lease was signed day 1 and had a period of 1 year. No further lease was signed, we just kept paying rent and staying there. Just some ad hoc price increases were imposed, no further signed contract / official amendments.

    Just wondering are we in a position now where this is essentially a monthly tenancy and we are in a position to leave on a month's notice.

    Our lease is worded solely for the time frame of 1 year, doesn't mention anything about extension etc.

    We are leasing from IRES and I have seen a lot of bad interactions in the community from them in the past. So not sure where I'll stand.

    Appreciate any advice / experience

    Between 2 & 4 years, statutory notice from tenant is 56 days:

    There's nothing to stop you and the landlord agreeing a shorter notice period.

    Indeed, despite the fact youre on a part 4 tenancy, you must still provide the correct notice as outlined by Graham above.

    That being said, a lot of the bigger landlords accept one month as they can getit tuned quickly and up to market rent.

    Once your first lease was up, you still continued to remain a tenant under Part IV, even without a lease but. As the others have said, you have an obligation to provide a certain notice period to your landlord. However, it's often possible to come to a better arrangement with landlords. But be aware they are entitled to enforce the full notice period on you.
