FAQ
An agreement termination clause specifies conditions under which the contract may be terminated by either party. For instance, it might state that either party can terminate for convenience with a notice period of 30 days. Including such a clause in a Massachusetts Sample Termination Agreement offers clarity. It outlines expectations and reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings.
Your landlord must send you a "14-Day Notice to Quit" if terminating your tenancy for non-payment of rent (M.G.L. c. 186, § 12). If it is being terminated for any other reason, you must be given written notice 30 days, or one full rental period in advance, whichever is longer.
A 14-day notice to quit means your tenancy is terminated 14 days after you get the notice. This is the first step in an eviction. If you have a lease, any clause in the lease saying that the landlord can end your tenancy for non-payment of rent without giving you a 14-day notice is illegal.
If you want to end the tenancy because the tenant hasn't paid rent, you need a written 14 days notice to quit, unless the lease says otherwise. For other circumstances, the eviction process is different depending on the type of tenancy you have with your tenant.
Stage I - Send a Notice to the Tenant to Vacate: An eviction notice needs to be filed in a court under the appropriate jurisdiction mentioning the reason for eviction and the time and date by which the tenant has to vacate the property and is then sent to the tenant to vacate the rental property.
A landlord can evict a tenant for not paying rent, but the landlord must first give the tenant a 14-day notice, after rent is due but not paid. The notice must state that the tenant has 14 days to either pay rent or move out of the rental unit, or the lease will terminate.
In Massachusetts, a landlord must send a tenant a Notice to Quit before the landlord can file a summary process (eviction) action. The Notice to Quit is a legal document that formally notifies the tenant that the tenancy will be terminated on a specific date.
When writing a letter to terminate your lease agreement, include your landlord's name and the address of the property you have been renting. Refer to any notice requirement in your rental agreement, such as, As required by the rental agreement, this letter serves as notice of my intention to move by April 1, 2019."
You should say something like: I am giving 1 month's notice to end my tenancy, as required by law. I will be leaving the property on (date xxxxx). I would like you to be at the property on the day I move out to check the premises and for me to return the keys.
Tenancy at will The landlord or tenant can end a month-to-month tenancy-at-will by giving a written 30 days (minimum) notice to quit that must expire at the end of a rental period. Pay special attention if the notice to quit is given in February, which has less than 30 days.
