Overview of this form

The Notice of Intent to Vacate at End of Specified Lease Term from Tenant to Landlord for Residential Property is a legal document that allows a tenant to formally notify their landlord of their intention to vacate the rental property at the end of the lease term. This form is especially useful when a lease specifies a fixed end date and does not require additional notice if the tenant does not wish to renew the lease. It helps ensure clear communication and can prevent disputes related to tenancy and security deposits.

FAQ

A holdover tenant is a tenant who stays in the rental unit after the lease expires. If the tenant continues to pay rent, the tenancy essentially becomes a month-to-month tenancy. A holdover tenant is legally allowed to stay in the rental unit as long as the landlord takes no action to remove them.

At-will tenancy is subject to the will of both the tenant and the landlord (hence the name). In other words, the tenant can choose to leave and stop paying rent at any time, and the landlord can choose to stop accepting rent and ask the tenant to leave at any time.

Dear Landlord, This letter will constitute written notice of my intention to vacate my apartment on date, the end of my current lease. I am doing so because explain the reason if you desire, such as a large increase in rent. Please recall that I made a security deposit of $______ on date.

Your landlord can end the let at any time by serving a written 'notice to quit'. The notice period will depend on the tenancy or agreement, but is often at least 4 weeks.

A landlord can simply give you a written notice to move, allowing you 30 days (60 days if you've lived in the rental a year or more) as required by California law and specifying the date on which your tenancy will end.

In Colorado, evictions are sometimes referred to as forcible entry & detainer (FED). Before you can file for eviction, you must generally provide 10 days' notice (increased from 3 days prior) for tenants to correct a deficiency or leave the property, except in certain circumstances.

Explain the Situation Tell your tenant in straightforward terms what the problem is, and explain that they cannot stay on the property any longer. Describe the Consequences Calmly explain that they will be evicted with necessary court orders if they remain on the property.

A termination notice has to give the tenant 14 clear days before the tenant has to leave the residential premises. The day the notice is served on the tenant and the day the tenant moves out do not count as part of the 14 days.
