    It can vary. Have you got a copy of your lease? It should be in there. In ours its a months notice.

    It is usually based on how you pay your rent here in VIC....if you are monthly rental, a months notice, fortnightly rental a fortnights notice etc......Even though your lease will have technically expired the conditions of it are still considered to be legally binding on a payment to payment basis until a new contract is signed if that makes sense.....

    with the 2 weeks notice that must just be a agents leaniancy we have been through 5 different real estates and moved out after the lease was up and all were 28 days notice not even letting go on 4 days like we were hoping it was 28 days or pay 2 rents and we were paying weekly-fortnightly with all of those.

    I'd give your agency a call Kell, we were on weekly rent and needed to give 28 days, and we weren't even on a contract then (it expired and the landlords knew we were building so we just didn't renew the contract for the next year). You want to be sure so you don't get caught out.

    Kel, I looked into this when our house was being sold and the tennent site for Vic stated that even on a month to month lease (which is what it becomes after your lease "expires" unless you have to sign a new lease) you have to give 28 days notice to vacate.
