Diplomatic clause dates, sketched.

Most 24-month TAs let you serve after a 12-month lock-in with two months’ written notice — if your clause says so. Check the math before you book flights.

Diplomatic clause notice inputs

Contracted lease length

Market default on many 24-mo TAs: 12.

Market default: 2 calendar months.

How this sketch works

  1. Builds lease end, earliest serve date, and earliest exit from start date plus lock-in and notice months.

  2. Tests whether serving notice still lands your target hand-back date.

  3. Counts whole calendar months with day-of-month clamping.

What to do with the number

  • Read your tenancy agreement for trigger proof, usually a pass cancellation or relocation letter.
  • If lock-in does not clear, price remaining-rent risk in the early-exit guide.
