This is one of several tenancy law changes which are going to be enacted early in the 2025 calendar year. There are other changes around notice periods. Tenants will only need to give a landlord 21 days notice to end the tenancy (currently 28 days) and landlords will only need to give 42 days’ notice to sell, move back in, develop or renovate.
