The Legal Risk Score of a Notice to Vacate for Breach (Residential Lease) Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document does not give the tenant further right to appeal, and this could make them antagonistic.
- The notice lacks detailed instructions or requirements for the tenant on how to vacate the property, potentially leading to non-compliance with lease terms that are not explicitly reiterated in this notice.
- If the notice is not made in the manner required by the agreement and by legislation, it could create liability for the sender.
Users familiar with lease agreements might find this document straightforward, but should be cautious of the broad language that might allow for varied interpretations and enforceability issues.
