8. End your tenancy and move out

When you're ready to move out, you'll need to give appropriate notice – even if your tenancy agreement is ending.

If you or the property manager wants to end the tenancy agreement early and without a sufficient reason, this is called breaking the lease.

It's possible that you may have to pay compensation (e.g. to cover the loss of rent) for breaking a lease, so make sure you understand the facts before you decide to end your agreement early.
