My tenancy agreement does not have a defined notice period, I am out of the tenancy agreement period and monthly rolling.
Can I assume 1 month as fine?

I am not asking the agent as I am going to serve it, and do not want to give them room to move.

Edit: Getting that from here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/housing/renting-privately/ending-your-tenancy/ending-your-tenancy/

My management agent says 'it's best... to give 2 months notice on a periodic tenancy" but what's best for them isn't for me, so they can shove that.

iirc it's 2m for the landlord. I think for the tenant it is 1m, but best to double check.

If there's no downside to you then it's always better to give more notice.

The downside is I need to move out asap.
And for sure, I agree, in better circumstances I would give as much as possible.

I had spoken to the agent about a rent reduction, but their offer was to pay whatever I can now, and deal with the arrears down the line... which isn't exactly helpful!
