How much notice is required to end a lease in NSW
In New South Wales, the notice period required to end a lease depends on the type of tenancy agreement and the reason for termination:
- Fixed-term Lease: If you’re ending a fixed-term lease, the notice period is typically 14 days if the tenant has lived in the property for less than six months, and 28 days if they’ve lived there for more than six months.
- Periodic Lease: For periodic leases, the notice period is 21 days for tenants and 90 days for landlords.
These notice periods ensure that both landlords and tenants have enough time to make necessary arrangements. If you need more specific information or have a unique situation, it’s always a good idea to consult the NSW Fair Trading website or seek legal advice.
