Quick general question about fixed lease exit

Hi all

Just wanted to see how much notice if any needs to be given when fixed lease is finishing? I read somewhere that 2 weeks need to be given to landlord /agent? Is that correct?

Or once the lease is finished you just vacate the property before it goes on periodic lease.

This is in NSW.

cheers

 

It is 2 weeks notice before the end of the fixed term and 3 weeks outside of the fixed term.

 

Thanks @Nick Valsamis

 

@Nick Valsamis sorry Nick one more question..... During the 2 week notice does the agent have the right to access the property and show to potential future tenants? Can the request to show the property be refused?

 

Who's giving notice? The tenant or the LL?

 

@Ed Barton The tenant is

 

Technically it can be refused, but if the agent has a good working relationship with the tenant then they shouldn't have any issues with access. Normally reasonable notice is required and should be permitted for the last 2 weeks.

Otherwise by law you can give 7 days notice for the purpose of an inspection and you are given 4 per year. Assuming only 2 routine inspections have been done over the 1 year period then you will be able to conduct 2 more inspections for the 2 weeks before the tenant moves out.
