The notice will only be valid in the period of the contract. If you haven't signed an extension, then you should be able to leave at the end of the current contract with no notice at all. Saying that, I think it would be professional to let them know you don't want renew, even if you only tell the immediate client. Then you might get a reference, whereas if you leave them in the poo, you might not !

A better strategy might be to just keep the contract going and look elsewhere for something which can wait for 4 weeks notice. At least you get money coming in.

I had a recent experience like that. My contract was up and i knew i was going to get extended but didn't want to extend as it was in London and had had enough of Virgin Trains every week. I told the client direct that even if they were going to extend that i wouldn't want to. They then must have told the agency as i never got a word from them.

Legally your bound by the dates in the contract and there is nothing stopping you from walking out at the end of it with notice or reason. But like said on here it is proffessional to let them know as they give you a good reference or even ask you back in the future.
