A person cannot end a tenancy agreement unless they follow the rules outlined in the law.

A landlord can only regain possession of a rental property if the tenant has left or an eviction order has been issued.

The automatic renewal of tenancy agreements that end on a specific date.

If the agreement is not terminated or replaced with a new one, it will automatically renew on a monthly basis with the same terms and conditions, except for any allowed rent increases.

• This rule does not apply if the landlord and tenant have signed a new agreement, if the tenancy has been ended in accordance with the law, or if the rental property is provided as an employment benefit.
