    I'm in my current apartment 5 years. I think the current notice period is 84 days . What could the landlord do if I decide not to give this much notice. I am looking to move city and only have to give 1 months notice in work

    I mean he/she will keep your deposit, or part of it. It depends on how easy it is for him to get someone else in, you’d be better off lifting the phone and explaining the situation.

    He can't do anything.

    All laws are stacked in favour of tenants.

    Honestly can't understand why a renter wouldn't withhold their last months rent in lieu of an uncertain return on your deposit - though I guess it's different if you're relying on a reference from previous landlord. Doesn't sound like that's your scenario.

    To answer your question, they can pursue you for the balance in Small Claims Court, but probably wouldn't for the sake of a month's rent. Might be trickier if you signed any form of Direct Debit mandate
