If you have a periodic joint tenancy you can give notice to end your tenancy without the agreement of the other tenants - unless your tenancy agreement says otherwise. It's important to be aware that if you end your tenancy it ends for everyone. Leaving without giving the correct notice could also make it harder for you to find a new home because: If you want to end the lease before it's due to expire, you need the landlord's permission unless there's a term in the agreement that allows you to leave early. Otherwise, you might end up having to pay the rent for the rest of the lease. If you leave without giving proper notice, your landlord might be entitled to charge rent up to the date when notice should have expired. If you're still in the fixed term of a short assured tenancy, you could be charged until the end of the tenancy if you give no notice at all.
