During the cancellation period, you may cancel your tenancy by giving notice in writing or by e-mail to the manager at the property.
Once your property manager receives such a notice, your property manager will confirm receipt, cancel your tenancy, and refund your advance rent payment, together with any other rent payments you may have made.
Cancelling outside the Cooling-Off Period
