A tenant may bring to an end a tenancy which is a private residential tenancy by giving the landlord a notice which fulfils the requirements described in section 49.

(2)

A tenancy comes to an end in accordance with subsection (1) on the day on which the notice states (in whatever terms) that it is to come to an end.

(3)

But a tenancy does not come to an end in accordance with subsection (1) if—

(a)

before the day mentioned in subsection (2), the tenant makes a request to the landlord to continue the tenancy after that day, and

(b)

the landlord agrees to the request.

In subsections (1) and (3), in a case where two or more persons jointly are the landlord under the tenancy, references to the landlord are to any of those persons.
