(a) Notice under this chapter shall be in writing unless oral notice is reasonable under the circumstances. (b) Notice may be communicated in person; by telephone, electronic transmission, or other form of wire or wireless communication; or by mail or private carrier.

The most common form of surrender is by an express written declaration by the parties that they are surrendering the lease. If the original lease was one that had to be made by a deed (as is the case when granted for a term of 3 years or more) then the surrender document should also be by way of deed.

Only use email if either: your tenancy agreement says you can give notice by email. your landlord has agreed to accept notice by email and you have proof of this.

If your agreement says you can end your fixed term tenancy early, this means you have a 'break clause'. Your tenancy agreement will tell you when the break clause can apply. For example your break clause might say you can end your tenancy 6 months after it starts if you give 1 month's notice.

If the recipient has admitted to receiving the email, or if he or she responded to it, this may serve as an official notice, but not in all circumstances. If you and the person have agreed that notification by email will be proof of notice, then you will need to have the agreement in writing.

A landlord can usually use a Section 21 notice to end a periodic tenancy. A section 21 notice is commonly referred to as a 'no-fault eviction', as the landlord does not typically need a legal reason to want to evict the tenants.
