What the calculator can and cannot check

It checks covered minimum periods, agreement-length branches, common grounds, the seven-working-day postal allowance, fixed-term dates and a proposed end date. It cannot prove a landlord ground is genuine, validate supporting documents, decide disputed service or replace Fair Trading or NCAT advice.

Example: NSW tenant ending a periodic agreement

If a tenant gives a periodic-agreement termination notice by email on 1 February, the current 21-day period starts the next day and reaches 22 February. The service day itself is not counted.

Posted notices

For supported paths, seven working days are allowed for postal delivery before the calendar-day notice period begins. The result also records that applicable local public holidays require confirmation.

Common questions

Is tenant notice 14 or 21 days in NSW?

A common NSW tenant periodic ending uses 21 days. End-of-fixed-term and selected early pathways use 14 days.

Does the day I serve a NSW termination notice count?

No. The day the notice is served is excluded from the notice-period count.

Do weekends and public holidays count?

For covered Queensland rules, a period ending on a weekend or applicable public holiday moves to the next business day.

How many extra days are added for post?

Post changes the service calculation. Queensland requires enough time for delivery; supported NSW termination paths add seven working days before the notice period begins.

Can a landlord use a no-grounds termination?

NSW landlords must use a current permitted ground. The calculator does not offer a generic no-grounds landlord path.

Does the calculator check supporting documents?

Some NSW landlord grounds require supporting documents and every landlord termination notice needs the current termination information statement. Check the official ground requirements.

Can a tenant leave before a landlord’s termination date?

The answer depends on the state, person giving notice, agreement type, ground and service method. Use the calculator, then check the linked official source.

What if my ground is not listed?

NSW landlords must use a current permitted ground. The calculator does not offer a generic no-grounds landlord path.
