The Deed of Surrender should be signed by both parties, and once it has been signed, the tenant will no longer have any legal rights to occupy the property. The Deed of Surrender can either be agreed upon verbally between the landlord and tenant, or it can be written down and signed by both parties.

Your landlord can end the let at any time by serving a written 'notice to quit'. The notice period will depend on the tenancy or agreement, but is often at least 4 weeks.
