What Length Of Time Is Required In A Quit Notice?
A quit notice is a period of time within which the Landlord is required by law to notify the tenant to vacate his premises.
Unless the tenancy agreement stipulated the period of time to be given, the following period of time is required to be given depending on the length of the tenancy:
a. A weekly notice for a weekly tenant; that is the Landlord must inform the tenant, via a quit notice, at least a week to the end of his tenancy to quit the premises.
b. A monthly notice for a monthly tenant; that is the Landlord must inform the tenant, via a quit notice, at least a month to the end of his tenancy to quit the premises.
c. A quarterly notice for a quarterly tenant; that is the Landlord must inform the tenant, via a quit notice, at least a quarter to the end of his tenancy to quit the premises.
d. A half a year notice for a yearly tenant; that is the Landlord must inform the tenant, via a quit notice, at least six months to the end of his tenancy to quit the premises.
What this translates, for instance for a yearly tenant, is that a quit notice given to him less than six months to the end of his tenancy is illegal.
