Read strictly we have to wonder if this is a provision about giving notice to end the arrangement at all. As has been pointed out, as soon as the tenant is planning to leave he has to "give notice" but it is not specified exactly what it is that he has to give notice of. Does the word "then" kick in immediately, so that the tenant has four weeks to find alternative accommodation, or when the two weeks has expired? It only says that the tenant must find alternative accommodation, not take it up.
If we go by the tenor of the wording I suppose we have to take it that it is a notice to quit provision and I would interpret it as a requirement to give four weeks notice. In any event not lot less than four weeks notice has to be given by law, unless the "living in Property manager" is the landlord - see section 5 of the Protection from Eviction Act 1977.
