Can the landlord charge me to break a fixed term lease?

Question

Accepted Answer

No fees can be charged to end a *periodic tenancy*: tenants can end the contract by giving 21 days’ notice. A landlord or property manager can charge you the actual and reasonable costs for ending a *fixed-term tenancy* early (e.g. costs to re-advertise). You can ask for a breakdown of the charges. If you are still concerned, you could apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for an order saying how much you have to pay.
