Residential Tenancies Act 1986, s 56B Family Violence Act 2018, s 9
Family violence survivors are able to quickly leave a fixed-term or periodic tenancy by giving two days’ notice to the landlord, along with appropriate evidence. Family violence includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse.
This means that you don’t need to pay rent after the withdrawal date. The law requires you to give notice to each remaining tenant at least a day after the withdrawal date, but you don’t need to tell them the reason why you’re leaving or give them any evidence.
