A tenant's one-year lease ends on June 30. She wants to move out at the end of the term rather than stay on month to month. What is the latest date she can give the landlord her notice of termination?

Correct Answer

D) May 1, at least 60 days before the June 30 expiry date named in the lease

Section 44(4) requires a notice to terminate a fixed-term tenancy to be given at least 60 days before the expiration date in the agreement, effective on that date. Sixty days before June 30 is May 1, so May 1 is the latest date.

Answer Options
A
May 31, because one month's notice is enough at the end of a fixed term
B
April 1, because a one-year lease requires three months' notice before it ends
C
No date, because a fixed-term lease ends on its expiry date without any notice
D
May 1, at least 60 days before the June 30 expiry date named in the lease
