There are various ways a tenancy agreement can end.

A landlord or tenant may seek to terminate (end) an agreement in certain circumstances. An 'interested party' such as a tenant's neighbour may also seek to terminate a tenancy if the tenant's conduct is unacceptable. For more information, please refer to Unacceptable conduct by a tenant.

At the end of an agreement, there are certain steps that should be taken to finalise the relationship between landlord and tenant.

In some instances, specific notices or forms should be served on the other party as part of the process of termination. For copies of the relevant forms, visit the SA Gov - Forms and Factsheets for Private Rental Tenancies website.
