To end a periodic tenancy a landlord can give a tenant a minimum of 42 days’ written notice if:
they have an unconditional agreement for sale and purchase of the premises that requires vacant possession be given to the purchaser.
they require the property as a principal place of residence for the owner or any member of the owner's family. This cannot be for a holiday, a weekend retreat, or to renovate the property while retaining a home elsewhere.
they wish to use the property to house an employee and the tenancy agreement with the tenant states that they might use the property for this purpose.
The reason must be included in the notice.
In all other cases the landlord must give the tenant a minimum of 90 days’ notice to terminate a periodic tenancy. No reason needs to be given to the tenant in a 90 days’ written notice to terminate.
If the tenant wants to end the tenancy, the tenant should give a minimum of 21 days’ written notice, unless the landlord agrees to accept a shorter period. The tenant cannot be required to give a longer period of notice, regardless of what may be in their tenancy agreement.
Students in tenancy arrangements with Institutions (as defined by the Education Act 1989) may terminate the tenancy on 14 days’ written notice if the tenant is no longer eligible for the tenancy.
Notice to terminate a tenancy can be given on any day of any week to end on any day of any week regardless of when rent is normally paid, or the period that it usually covers.
When serving notices to terminate a tenancy, the landlord and tenant should take into account the time required to correctly serve the notices.
if he doesnt move out after 90days notice, you can also claim of compensation as well. If they dont pay rent during the time, it will be even easier to get them to move out.作者: songinator 时间: 2014-12-12 13:18:34
