How do you fight a notice to quit?

When responding to the notice to quit, there are several options available to the tenant:

  1. Pay any delinquent rent that is due to the landlord within the allotted time of the notice.
  2. Move out of the premises within the allotted time of the notice.
  3. File an answer with the judicial court.
  4. File a motion to stay with the court.

Can a notice to quit be withdrawn?

Unfortunately that is not the case. Once a break notice has been served is cannot be unilaterally withdrawn. Even if both parties agree that the notice is withdrawn, service of the notice terminates the existing lease and creates a new tenancy by implication.

How long does a notice to quit last?

Can you retract a tenancy agreement?

You can only end your fixed term tenancy early if your agreement says you can or by getting your landlord to agree to end your tenancy.
