Notice Query re Ending Tenancy after Switching from Weekly to Monthly Rent Payments

misstearheus

If a person switches from Weekly Rent to Monthly Rent and pays the next month on the last day of previous Month, - does the current action over-ride the previous date of pay when it comes to moving out or does the date ya move in withstand everything else / any other changes etc?

Like for example, on a weekly paying basis, - I moved in on any random day in the middle of a month, say the 20th, if I was moving out, - I'd be giving them 4 weeks Notice prior consecutively to that day, but if ya go to paying Monthly, - what happens then if ya want to leave??

Have NO clue! When paying by the month, you're paid up for the full month, 31 or 30 days or 4 or 5 weeks or whatever it is. So if ya want to leave do you adhere to whatever yer actively doing at the moment and that overrules all, and in this case its monthly-paying, and would you give advance Notice of leaving on the 1st day of the advance month or how does it work?!?

Or is there a better way to go about it, even by paying monthly, and using the date of moving in the 20th and giving 4 weeks consecutive prior notice to that day/date. Good luck trying to understand this.. :pac: I'm crap at explaining things!

Assuming you’re talking about a tenancy rather than rent-a-room type arrangements, there are defined notice periods for both tenants and landlords:

Once you provide the appropriate notice to your LL it is immaterial the frequency of your rent payments. You owe for the entirety of the rent up to the day your notice period elapses.

If you are in a fixed term contract you owe rent to the day the contract expires.
