Identify the jurisdiction and tenancy type
Record where the property is located, the type of agreement and whether the tenancy is fixed-term or periodic. Do not apply a rule from another state, territory or rental arrangement.
Check the required notice and delivery method
Use the current official tenancy authority's instructions for the required form, notice period, recipient and permitted service methods. Check whether an electronic address or communication method is specifically accepted for the notice you intend to give.
Keep copies and confirm receipt
Retain the notice, any attachments, delivery details and responses. If the rules require another form or method, follow the official instructions rather than assuming an email has ended the agreement.
Get advice if the date or effect is uncertain
If timing, a dispute or a financial consequence depends on whether notice is valid, contact the official tenancy authority, a tenant advice service or a qualified legal adviser before relying on a general article.
