Written notice asking a tenant to vacate, or a tenant giving notice. Free, no sign-up, and everything stays in your browser.
A notice to vacate is a written notice to end a tenancy. A landlord sends it to ask the tenant to leave by a date, and a tenant sends it to say they will leave. The notice period should match what the rent agreement says.
Tick the box to switch between a landlord’s and a tenant’s notice. It is made in your browser and nothing you type is stored on our server.
Who signs: The person sending the notice (signs).
The period in your rent agreement. Many residential agreements use one or two months. If there is a lock-in period, leaving earlier may cost you rent for the remaining months.
A landlord should not use force or cut off services. If a tenant stays on after the notice, the proper step is to take legal advice. Rent control rules in your state may also apply.
