Hi all,
Landlord states need to give 2 months notice due to RRA
My tenancy agreement states 1 month notice period.
Landlord disagrees & we are letting MyDeposits make a decision on this as they have withheld the deposit to pay for it.
Anyone had any similar experiences regarding this?
I’ve handed my notice to my letting agent in which they have said I now have to give 2 months notice due to renters rights bill, I signed the below contract in 2024 and this is the wording in the contract:
*Should either party wish to terminate the Tenancy, it is agreed that the Tenant must serve a minimum of 1 month’s
advance written notice to be served on the Landlord. The Landlord must serve a minimum of 2 months advance
written notice to be served on the Tenant. The tenancy must not expire within the first 6 Months of the Tenancy
commencement date.
In the event that the Tenant fails to provide such notice, or the Tenant serves notice to expire earlier than the end of
the Term, the Tenant shall be responsible for the Rent until such time as their notice could have expired in
accordance with this clause.
Further, in the event that the Tenant serves notice to expire earlier than 12 th of July 2024, the Landlord shall treat
their notice as the Tenant requesting a termination of the Tenancy and accordingly be entitled to recover their losses
caused by the Tenant serving notice, including any re-letting fees.*
Do I need to give 2 months notice?
