THE SIMPLE VERSION
A diplomatic clause can allow an eligible tenant to end the tenancy early if specific conditions in the signed agreement are met.
What should you check?
Check the minimum occupation period, notice period, qualifying event and any documentary requirements in the actual tenancy agreement.
Common mistake
Do not assume every lease includes one, or that a job change automatically lets the tenant leave without consequences.
What should you do next?
Read the exact wording in your signed tenancy agreement and keep the relevant messages, receipts, photos or documents. If both parties agree to vary something, record the agreement clearly in writing.
