Usually you give 4 weeks notice before your next rent payment

You may be able to negotiate the extra 5 days ... if you have good landlords ... otherwise it's usually the complete month

You should be able to agree with your landlord via the letting agent an extension where you pay for five days rent

Depends partly on how reasonable your landlord is and how much notice you give them.

They could charge you for the whole month as in reality they are likely to lose a full months income.

If you have been a good tenant and you have a good relationship with them they may just charge you for the odd days.

You could end up with them keeping all or part of your deposit tho.

It also depends on what your contract states (if you have one).

Go read the small print.

Good luck.

What does it say in your lease/tenancy agreement?

You may have to pay another full month's rent, but the only way to know for sure is to ask your landlord.

Your best bet is just to speak to your landlord.

I've been in this situation before and had a great landlord who said I've been a great Talent and they didn't have a problem with me stay in the extra 7 days in my case. He said the new tenants weren't moving in for a month anyway. I think in theory you are eligible for the full month but you should be able to negotiate.

Probably depends on your relationship with the landlord.

The odds of your exit date falling the day before monthly rent day are pretty long.

I wanted to stay for about a week after the rent-due date.

I worked out the annual rent, divided it by 365 and multiplied by 9 or 10 days.

When I gave my notice some weeks earlier, I said I wanted to leave on X date and offered him Y above for those few days beyond the rent-due date.

The landlord was happy with that.

They’ll probably get you to pay for the extra month. Whenever we private rented that’s how it was done.

No landlord is going to agree for you to leave on a Monday they will want you out on the 22nd or you will be paying until the 1st or 2nd March. People don't tend to move house on a monday or Tuesday.

Bearing in mind you have to negotiate this with your landlord who can ask for the full month you might not want to present an option that is potentially going to look like you are taking the piss

from the womb and tryout to get back

I rent houses if you have a good landlord then he should waver the five days as long as you have give him the correct notice and the house has been looked after if you do have to pay then the law states only the extra days that you are there needs to be paid hope this helps also if you have put a bond down then this is now guaranteed so you have no worries of its return

Landlord is only entitled to 5 days if you’ve given him the correct notice. Learnt this the hard way. Ie paid for a month and had to claim it back. Landlord acted like a Pratt and tried to keep it.
