Moving out
Ending your fixed term or periodic agreement
You cannot move out at the end of a fixed term agreement without giving notice.
If you wish to leave you must give 14 days notice in writing. If the lessor/agent
wants you to leave they must give you 2 months notice.
You must continue to pay rent until you move out.
You must leave the property in the same condition it was in before you moved
in, fair wear and tear excepted. You may have to pay for carpet cleaning or pest
control if they are included in the special terms of your tenancy agreement.

Breaking your tenancy agreement
If you break the tenancy agreement (e.g. you decide to leave early), you are still
responsible for compensating the lessor/agent for lost rent until another tenant
can be found or until the tenancy ends. You may also be liable for other costs
such as the cost of re-letting the property and advertising.
