Not causing a nuisance
You should take care not upset or annoy your neighbours. Antisocial behaviour is a legal reason for eviction and includes things like -
- having the stereo or TV on too loudly
- not keeping pets under control
- allowing your children or visitors to be a nuisance
- allowing rubbish to pile up
- using the house for illegal activities
Being responsible for your household and visitors
You are responsible for the behaviour of everyone in your household and of anyone staying with or visiting you.
Ending your tenancy properly
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has changed your responsibility towards your landlord if you want to move out and end your tenancy. Tenants must now provide landlords (or their Agent) with written notice, giving 2 months’ notice, stating the exact date you will leave the property. With your landlord’s agreement, the required 2 months’ notice can be reduced. If your tenancy agreement requires you to give more than 2 months’ notice, this term is unenforceable and is of no effect.
If you have a joint tenancy, this will end for everyone, even if only one named tenant provides the required written notice to the landlord.
Giving your landlord access when necessary
You must give your landlord access to your property to carry out inspections and to do repairs. Most tenancy agreements contain information about how and when your landlord can get access to the property. You are entitled to be given reasonable notice of this.
