Flat etiquette

Maybe you need to confront your mate? She may be going through something (money wise, depressio etc) and may be moving home because of it? Maybe shes afraid to talk to you honestly, hence the text. Then again she may just be being a bitch. I reckon you confront her though and find out whys shes doing it.
To be honest , I think that 2 weeks is the normal period. Contract or no, dont quote me on that though!

Usually with flat agreements etc... either written or verbal its usually 2 weeks notice. most flats ive found will want 2 weeks rent as well as bond paid in advance, so if you give 2 weeks notice you then live out your 2 weeks rent in advance for the next 2 weeks

My last flat had no such agreement, simply if I stopped paying rent id have to leave and vice versa.

In this case I made a hint that I was thinking about moving out, But didnt actually say anything until half my stuff was already out the door... I just wanted to pay for the damage to his bike and go!!!!

I'm speaking in the hypothetical situation of living in a flat... but i'd also give my parents adequate notice.. such as about a month or so... so either way, yeah, thats what i would do...
