To end a tenancy

A tenancy does not end just because it reaches the end date of the tenancy agreement, also known as the 'ish date'. If you or your tenant do not end the tenancy properly it will automatically continue with the same conditions. This automatic renewal is known as 'tacit relocation'.

A tenancy can be ended by:

• serving your tenant a Notice to Quit and a Section 33 Notice to end the tenancy at the end of the tenancy agreement
• your tenant giving you written notice to end the tenancy at the end of the tenancy agreement
• you and your tenant both agree to end the tenancy at any time
• your tenant breaking a condition of the lease and you 'irritate' the lease by serving notices to end the tenancy and recover possession.
