GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase: pour la fin d’un mois
English translation:effective at the end of a month; tenancy: notice to quit expiring end of month

Marketing - Business/Commerce (general) / Storage Space company website
French term or phrase: pour la fin d’un mois
Context:

"... vous pouvez interrompre à tout moment votre stockage en respectant un préavis de 15 jours pour la fin d’un mois. Passé ce délai, le mois suivant sera dû dans son intégralité."

I have put:
"...., you can cancel your storage rental at any time, SUBJECT TO A 15 DAY NOTICE PERIOD. .......?"

So, is this an "end of the month" or a "15 day" notice period? How should it be expressed?

Thanks.

Explanation:
Plenty of glossary entries. Take your pick.

Alas, this is another trap. Compare in German zum.. kündigen > tenant or landlord give notice to quit expiring on a date when vacation needs to take place: another professional negligence case at my Central London translation office when, years after the translation, a local firm of Solicitors queried the tenant needing 'at the end of the year to give one year's notice' of a lease in Frankfurt am Main. Upshot; the landlords were stuck another year with the tenants.

agree  philgoddard

  -> Thanks and merci, Phil.
agree  Tony M: Yes, it means you must give notice no later than 15th of the month, otherwise you will be considered to have started another full month.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks, Toni. This question has been asked and answered before as effective, albeit without the notice-to-quit expiry angle that had been the basis of the professional negligence claim I referred to. So, in fact, a PRO query.
agree  Gordon Matthews: My understanding is that notice has to be given at least 15 days in advance of the end of the month, when the tenancy is to end.
7 hrs
  -> Exactly, Gordon, thx. In my prof. neg. case, an office colleague of mine referred to the mistranslated notice-to-quit point as 'another time bomb ticking away, this time in a lease.'
agree  AllegroTrans
11 hrs
  -> Thanks, Chris. Notice to quit a rental expiring on ... had in fact been the main scenario I have had to d/w.
agree  Libby Cohen
12 hrs
  -> Merci and thanks, Libby !
agree  Michele Fauble
17 hrs
  -> Merci, tusen takk and thanks, Michele!
agree  rokotas: It's like when you say "payment 45 days end of month", i.e. 45 days AFTER the end of the invoicing month
1 day 5 hrs
  -> Efaristo rokotas, merci and thanks for the extra alternative.
