The termination of a fixed-term tenancy before its expiration requires mutual agreement between the landlord and tenant. However, there are alternative avenues to explore if either party wishes to terminate the tenancy prematurely. In cases of unexpected circumstances, either the landlord or tenant can seek assistance from the Tenancy Tribunal. If it’s determined that continuing the tenancy would cause severe hardship to the applicant, the Tribunal may opt to end the fixed-term agreement earlier, setting a suitable date for termination. The Tribunal will weigh the applicant’s hardship against the other party’s interests to make this decision. It is advisable to initiate a discussion with the tenants regarding any changes in circumstances and attempt to come to a mutual agreement before involving the Tenancy Tribunal
