How do I end a fixed-term tenancy early?
Fixed-term tenancies are for a specific length of time and cannot be ended with notice. They can be ended early by the mutual agreement of all of the parties to the tenancy agreement, or by assigning the tenant’s interest in the tenancy to someone else.
The Tenancy Tribunal may terminate a fixed-term tenancy where there has been a breach of the tenancy agreement or the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and it would not be equitable to allow the tenancy to continue. It may also terminate the tenancy where the landlord or tenant has suffered a serious unforeseen change in circumstances which would cause them hardship to continue with the tenancy, and greater hardship than would be caused to the other party to the tenancy by ending the tenancy early. Where the tenancy is ended early, compensation may be awarded to the other party.作者: 光芒 时间: 2010-7-30 20:44:06
