About this document
A notice to end a lease is a letter from one party to the other saying the tenancy will end on a stated date. It identifies the premises and lease, gives the date and the period it represents, may state a reason, asks for handback, a final inspection, a forwarding address for the deposit and the closing of accounts, and reserves the sender's rights.
This blank form is a letter to complete by hand and sign. It is not a statutory notice. Many states prescribe how long a notice must be, what it must say, how it is delivered and when it takes effect, and a letter that does not follow those rules may not end the tenancy. Check what applies, or ask a lawyer, before relying on it.
