There are two types of tenancy agreements, fixed term and periodic.
Fixed term
Fixed term tenancies are for a set period of time, with a defined start and end date. Usually six to 12 months. Fixed tenancies can’t be terminated by either party unless each party agrees.
Periodic
Periodic tenancies can simply be terminated by notice. As a tenant, you must provide your landlord/property manager 21 days written notice of your decision to terminate the lease. Your landlord must provide you with notice which varies depending on circumstance: 42 days if they or any of their family require the property for their own use 42 days if the property has been sold 90 days for any other reason Up to 4 days should be added to the above to provide for service of the notice
