Moving out? In South Australia, wrapping up your tenancy the right way involves clear communication and proper notice. Let's break down what you need to do as a tenant:

The 28-Day Rule:

• When: At least 28 days before your fixed-term lease ends, you must tell your landlord you're moving out.
• How: Use the official "Notice of Termination By Tenant At End Of Fixed Term Tenancy" form (Form 4B).
• Why it matters: If you miss this deadline, or your landlord doesn't give you proper notice, your tenancy automatically switches to a periodic (month-to-month) lease. This means you'll need to give another notice period to end the tenancy later.

Key takeaway: Giving timely, correct notice protects both you and your landlord. It helps ensure a smooth transition and avoids any unexpected lease extensions.
