A break clause is a term in a contract that allows early termination of the contract before the default end date. In accordance with English property law, such clauses are typical in tenancy agreements, so as to allow a tenancy to come to an end before the end date stated in the agreement.[1] A break clause may be invoked by either the landlord or the tenant. The terms of the tenancy agreement are required to be fair to both the tenant and the landlord to comply with consumer protection law.[2] Break clauses usually require some period of notice as outlined in the clause.[3]
