Tenancy Agreement Form

[MAXNZ]

Thanks Happi! Will look through, looks like good source.

It is enshrined in the RTA. Have a lookie here: 50 (b) second line

With respect, I disagree. It appears to require a minimum notice period whether it is a periodic tenancy or there are provisions to terminate early as in the case of service tenancies. Any clause you add regarding notice will still be subject to the minimum notice periods in s.51. I can't see how you could read it any other way.

I suppose section 52 provides for shorter notice periods but only with the consent of the Tribunal.

Time to display the relevant text here, methinks.

Section 50: Circumstances in which tenancies are terminated

Subject in the case of a subtenancy to section 57, no tenancy to which this Act applies shall terminate or be terminated otherwise than as follows:
(b) by the giving of notice of a period no shorter than that required by this Act, in the case of a periodic tenancy or where provision is made in the tenancy agreement for termination by notice:

For non-periodic-tenanacies, that wording appears to allow for notice by agreement to be included in a TA, when notice periods for that tenancy type are not set in the RTA.

Tricky.

Who's going to test it. I wonder?
