How to end your tenancy

Use our question and answer tool if:

  • you want to leave a private rented tenancy

  • you've left early and want to end your responsibility for rent

If you're unsafe in your home because of violence, abuse or threatening behaviour from someone you live with, get help and find a safe place to stay.

How it works:

  1. we'll ask you some questions

  2. you'll select answers from a list of options

  3. we'll explain if you can end your tenancy and how to do it

It takes about 5 minutes.

It could be helpful to have your most recent tenancy agreement ready to check.

Use our online webchat if

  • you have been pressured or rushed into signing an agreement

  • you have been deliberately misled by the landlord or agent giving false information about the property
