Tenant's Notice to Terminate Tenancy

A Tenant's Letter Giving Notice to End Tenancy is a document which informs a landlord of the tenants intention to terminate their lease. As a tenancy lease is a legally binding contract, it is important to ensure that you exit the agreement correctly and respectfully. By giving your landlord an end of tenancy document, it can help you leave on good terms with your landlord and ensure that there will be no further complications down the line.

The Legal Risk Score of a Tenant's Notice to Terminate Tenancy Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a risk that the tenant may not be fully aware of the specific moving out instructions or the final inspection arrangements due to a lack of detailed guidance in the notice.
  • The notice does not specify the exact date by which the property should be vacated, which could lead to misunderstandings or last-minute arrangements between the parties.
  • The document does not clearly state how disputes regarding the condition of the property or compliance with the lease terms will be handled, potentially leading to conflicts post-vacation.
