Can I cancel my tenancy if I withdraw from university or suspend my studies?
If you are an eligible Common Law Tenant living in England from the 2026/27 academic year, you may be able to end your tenancy if you withdraw from, are excluded from, or are refused admission to your institution. You may also qualify if you have been absent from your course for more than 60 days due to illness and have agreed with your university to suspend your studies.

How much notice do I need to give if I qualify for this cancellation right?
You must provide at least 4 weeks' written notice, state your intended departure date, and provide satisfactory evidence of your non-student status or suspension of studies. You must also move out by the departure date stated in your notice.
