Notice to quit
Property Law

A tenancy under a lease that runs for a term specfied in the lease (a periodic tenancy) renews automatically when that term expires. To terminate the lease, the landlord or tenant may service notice to quit to end the lease at the conclusion of the current term. Notices to quit have formal requirements: it must specify the cirrect date, be unconditional and relate to the entire premises leased, rather than a part of the premises under the lease. Such notices must also comply with the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
