For a fixed term agreement longer than 90 days, a tenant needs to give at least 28 days written notice prior to the expiry of the fixed term to end the tenancy at the expiry of the fixed term otherwise it will automatically become a periodic tenancy.
A fixed-term tenancy of 90 days or less is called a short fixed-term tenancy. If a short fixed-term tenancy comes to an end, it doesn’t automatically become a periodic tenancy. The tenancy will end and the tenant has to move out, unless they come to an agreement with the landlord.
If you’re a tenant of a myRent tenancy you can generate and send an end of tenancy notice if eligible by following the steps here

I am seeking help for when the bank closes the account the rent goes into.
I have been managing my partners rental properties using MyRent. The tenants have a unique code which they use when they pay the rent. Kiwibank tells MyRent when a rent payment is made and MyRent reconciles the payment against the rent due. All good!
The issue arises when we invoked my partner’s EPOA at Kiwibank and they closed access to her accounts. Fortunately theses are joint accounts and so I can see the money coming in. But MyRent cannot reconcile them.
What do I need to do?
Thanks
