1. How to give notice

Your notice must be:

• In writing, via the Leaving Form on https://www.creweandstokeroomsandsuites.co.uk/leaving 

 

2. When to send your notice

Send it at least 2 months before the date you want to leave. The simplest way to get the timing right is to send your notice on the same day of the month that you pay your rent — that way the 2-month period lines up neatly with your rental periods, and there's no confusion about the leaving date.

 

3. How long the notice period lasts

• 2 calendar months from when we receive your written notice.

• The notice period ends on the last day of a rental period.

• Your tenancy continues during the notice period — including your obligation to pay rent.

 

4. A good example

Jane pays her rent on the 15th of every month (as per her agreement), so her rental period runs from the 15th of one month to the 14th of the next. In August, she decides she wants to leave as soon as possible. Here's how she handles it:

​

15 August: Jane sends her written notice. Her rent for 15 Aug – 14 Sep is also paid as normal. The 2-month clock starts today.

15 September: Jane pays her rent for 15 Sep – 14 Oct as normal. This is her last rent payment.

14 October: Jane's tenancy ends. She moves out by the end of the day, hands her keys back, and the deposit return process begins.

 

That's exactly 2 months of notice, with two normal rent payments during the notice period.

 

5. A second example — what happens if you don't send notice on your rent date

Mark also pays his rent on the 15th, but unlike Jane he sends his notice on 20 August — five days after his rent was paid. Because notice must last at least 2 months AND end on the last day of a rental period (the 14th), his timeline works out like this:

​

20 August: Mark sends his written notice. His rent for 15 Aug – 14 Sep is already paid.

15 September: Mark pays his rent for 15 Sep – 14 Oct as normal. The 2-month clock effectively starts from this rental period.

15 October: Mark pays his rent for 15 Oct – 14 Nov. This is his last rent payment.

14 November: Mark's tenancy ends. He moves out and hands his keys back.

 

Because Mark sent his notice after his rent date, his notice period ends up being closer to 2.5 months instead of 2. That's why we recommend sending your notice on your rent date — it's the simplest way to keep the timing clean.

 

6. What if I need to leave even earlier?

Once you've given notice, your tenancy continues until the notice period ends, and you remain responsible for paying rent throughout. You can't shorten your notice period, and physically moving out earlier doesn't end the tenancy or stop rent being due.

​

If rent isn't paid during the notice period, the unpaid amount will be deducted from your deposit. If the unpaid rent is more than your deposit, we can recover the balance through the county court as a debt.

We can sometimes be flexible in extreme circumstances — for example, serious illness, a family emergency, or losing your job and needing to relocate quickly. If you're in a difficult situation, please talk to us. We'd much rather find a sensible solution together.

 

7. Important reminder

You must continue paying your rent throughout the notice period. Any unpaid rent will be deducted from your deposit, and any balance can be recovered through the county court. Stopping rent because you're leaving will also affect your future rental references.​
