Renters who want to move out can either talk to their property manager to reach an agreement, by calling our office on (03) 5986 8188 or give formal notice that they want to leave in writing via the link below.

A notice of intention to vacate is a formal statement that the renter wants to end the rental agreement (lease).

There are only certain reasons renters can end a rental agreement early without breaking the agreement (breaking the lease) and having to pay compensation or lease break fees.

If you wish to give formal notice of intention to vacate your current rental property, please fill in the form by clicking the button below.

Reasons renters can give notice

At the end of an agreement

Renters must give 28 days notice if they want to leave at the end of a rental agreement (lease). Renters on a fixed term agreement, will automatically move to a month to month agreement if they do not give notice and a new lease is not signed.

Early notice without breaking the agreement

There are some reasons a renter can leave before the end of the rental agreement without breaking the agreement and without having to pay costs.

These reasons, and how much notice must be given, are listed in the table on this page.

The renter must give written notice for any of these reasons.

Breaking the agreement

If renters give notice for any other reason before the end of the rental agreement, they will be breaking the rental agreement. They may have to pay costs.

Agreement to leave without formal notice

A renter may ask a rental provider if they can leave without giving them a formal notice of intention to vacate. The rental provider does not have to agree. If they do, the agreement should be recorded in writing.

Withdrawing a notice of intention to vacate

If you are a renter and have given notice but decide you want to stay longer or extend the agreement, we suggest you:

• tell your rental provider as soon as possible via phone call to our office on (03) 5986 8188
• provide written notice to withdraw the intention to vacate via email to your Property Manager or to office@mppropertygroup.com.au
• seek the rental provider’s or agent’s agreement in writing via email to your Property Manager or to office@mppropertygroup.com.au
