hi everyone it's Helen Hotai here founder of Form Help and today we are on the community law webpage
and i've posted a link in the description box below
so in today's video we're looking for a letter template which we can use if we want to give
notice to terminate a periodic tendency and so that letter would go to your landlord okay let's
have a look through these letter templates and see which one applies to us okay so you
can see here that these are the tendency letters okay oh it's right here so terminate a periodic
tendency so i will go to that option there and it's downloading for me so i will open it up
actually before we proceed can i just commend at the community law center on providing these
excellent easy to follow and understand templates and for making them available to the public
so well done to the copyright owner for making these available and i know they're a big help and
guidance to the community so well done and thank you so as you can see here there's a warning so

which can be found here so if you could click on that to link you'll see what those conditions are
two the copyright owner has permitted use of this letter for the purpose of helping
people to resolve their own legal issues three providing this letter and permitting its use

and five we strongly recommend that you obtain independence legal advice before using this letter
using this letter so it says fill in the areas that are marked with square brackets like this
so if you see the square brackets it will have in there what you need to what sort of information

when to use this letter use this letter to give the required notice to terminate a periodic
tenancy the standard minimum notice you can give is 21 days now you should allow an additional
four days if you are posting this letter you may give shorter notice if the tenancy tribunal
gives you consent or if a breach of the tenancy agreement has left the premise uninhabitable

so you need to seek advice instead so seek legal advice instead okay so we'll have a
look at this letter and we'll see what we need to do so i'll go ahead and fill it in
okay
okay so i'll go ahead and put in today's date which is the fourth of november
okay so in these brackets um place so remove the brackets and put your name so i'll
go ahead and put in my name um it says here your address so put in the address
okay so i'll say 23 smith street uh wellington
okay so the landlord's name okay
landlord's name is uh i will say sean oops sean i will i will address them as mr sean
johnson okay landlord's address i'll put in if you know the landlord's address put it in
well hopefully you would have it if you are going to post it because you would
need that address okay so address i'll say he's at 345 um shelley street in johnsonville
okay so it says here sent by post or email in this case i will just place uh uh sent by email
now put in her dear so the landlord's name i will address him as dear mr johnson and re-reference
okay so it's reference um notice of termination of periodic
tendency and then you need to place the address in here the tenancy address
so in this example the tenancy address is 123 smith street and oopsie in wellington
okay so dear mr johnson reference notice of termination of periodic tendency for
123 smith street wellington i'm writing to tell you that i am terminating my tenancy
this notice applies to the below tenancy so again we need to insert the name of the tenants
the address of the premises and insert any other necessary identifying details that your landlord
would need to identify the premises okay so i'll go ahead and insert the names of the tenants
so i will just put myself if you've got a partner then add your name and your partner's name
if they are the tenants okay so insert the address which is one two three smith street and wellington
okay and for this one and suit any other necessary identifying details that your landlord would need
to identify the premises um i don't have any so i will delete that but if you have any extras
any extra details then and search them in there
okay i will i will vacate the premises on the following date
so let me have a look at my calendar because i need to give 21 days notice
i will actually give it i'm just going to be generous and give 22. so 22 plus 4 is
so i'll say 26 of november maybe i'll just say 27th so i will vacate the premises on
the following dates 27th of november 2021 which is more than the 21 days that you need to get
okay here it says insert to date when you will vape vacate the premises this
date should be at least 21 days in the future and you should allow an additional four days
if you are posting the letter okay so if you are posting the letter 4th of november at 21 days it's
25th um 29th okay so if you were going to uh post it then this date here
would be the 29th of november okay now because i don't need any of this here i will delete it
and then it says please contact me to arrange collection of keys and to
arrange any other matters thank you for your time yours faithfully and my name in here
