Hi all,

A very quick question.

I am seeking to end my tenancy agreement, having recently had a one month notice period inserted, I now have a clause which reads;

"While the tenancy is periodic the one months written notice must expire the day before a rent due date"

Is my understanding correct that I am unable to pro-rata my months notice (i.e. give it part way through a month, and seek to leave part way through the next) and that I must essentially inform the agent before I pay the following months rent, if I intend not to pay another instalment.

i.e. If my rent is due on the first of the month, I cannot seek to end our agreement on the 15th of a future month even if I serve the agent with in excess of 4 weeks notice (without paying for the entirity of that month)?

Is that accurate?

I would ask the agent, but I don't particularly want them to know i'm looking at moving!

Appreciate any advice - this is probably very straightforward - just slightly unsure on the terminology.

Cheers.
