When someone rents a property, whether it\u2019s an affordable housing unit or a private rental, they typically sign a tenancy agreement. This contract outlines key details like rent amount, duration of tenancy, responsibilities of both parties, and what landlords or property managers can and cannot do. It also defines the tenant\u2019s rights and obligations<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One important section in any tenancy agreement<\/strong><\/a> covers how the tenancy can end. This includes the termination process and the notice period required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll break down the situations where a landlord can lawfully end a tenancy, the required notice period, and how that notice must be delivered to count as legal. We’ll also cover what happens if the tenant doesn\u2019t see or acknowledge the notice, and how that impacts the termination process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
