FAQ
Moving In. In Alberta, most landlords require a tenant to pay a security deposit or damage deposit before moving in. A security deposit is a one-time only payment and cannot be more than one month's rent. A landlord must place a security deposit in a trust account within two days of receiving it.
Tenants cannot use a deposit as last month's rent. Deposits can be deducted from for unpaid rent, unpaid utility bills, damages and cleaning. Deposits cannot be kept as a penalty for breaking a lease. Leases can be verbal or written.
In some circumstances, a tenant can break a fixed-term agreement early without penalty. A tenant can give 14 days' written notice to end an agreement early without penalty if: they have accepted an offer of social housing (e.g. from DCJ Housing)
Vermont state law requires that before ending a tenancy a tenant must give the landlord notice in writing at least one full rental payment period prior to the move-out date, if there is no written rental agreement to the contrary.

During the lease period, no landlord old or new may terminate the lease, raise the rent or change any terms without the tenant's consent, unless otherwise specified in the lease. At the end of the lease term, however, the landlord may raise rent and change lease terms dependent upon state and local laws.
Dear (Name of landlord or manager), This letter constitutes my written (number of days' notice that you need to give based on your lease agreement)-day notice that I will be moving out of my apartment on (date), the end of my current lease. I am leaving because (new job, rent increase, etc.)
Give the landlord/agent a written termination notice and vacate move out and return the keys according to your notice, and/or. apply to the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) for a termination order.
Unless such a condition is explicitly stated in the lease or there is a rare jurisdictional law that requires a cooling period, your lease is binding the second you sign your name. The landlord has the right to decide whether to mutually agree to terminate the lease or to hold you to the terms.
