30 Day Termination Notice
Understanding this form
The 30 Day Termination Notice is a legal document used by landlords to inform tenants that their month-to-month rental agreement is ending. This notice provides a formal way to terminate the tenancy, requiring the tenant to vacate the property within thirty days. It differs from other eviction notices by providing a specific time frame for the tenant to leave, rather than immediately seeking eviction. It is essential to ensure compliance with local landlord-tenant laws when using this form.

FAQ
If a tenant receives a 30-day notice, it is NOT AN EVICTION. It means that the landlord no longer wishes to continue the tenancy, but it does not mean that the tenant has violated the lease and it will not come up as an eviction on the tenant's rental history.
Dear your landlord or property manager's name, I am writing to inform you I will be vacating my rental unit on date you intend to vacate. This letter meets the 30-day notice requirement outlined in my lease agreement.
The first day is the day after the notice is served. Then count every day on the calendar, including weekends and holidays. If the last day of the notice period falls on a holiday or weekend, then the notice period ends the next work day.
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. I also need you to return my tenancy deposit of (state amount).
The date you're submitting your notice. The date you're moving. Information on your current home the address and the landlord's name. A statement declaring that you intend to leave the home. A straightforward statement that you're providing this letter, 30 days out, per your lease agreement.
A tenant must vacate the rental unit by the end of the thirtieth day after the date on which notice was served. For example, if a 30-day notice is served on July 16, you would begin counting days on July 17, and the 30-day period would end on August 15.
Regarding the apostrophe after notice, think how you'd refer to a notice period that's one day long: you'd say one day's notice, with an apostrophe, not one day notice. So when you refer to a notice period that's several days long, you say days', with the apostrophe.
Notice Requirements for California Tenants Unless your rental agreement provides a shorter notice period, you must give your landlord 30 days' notice to end a month-to-month tenancy. Be sure to check your rental agreement which may require that you give notice on the first of the month or on another specific date.
The 'a' changes things. It's either "a 30 day written notice" (the actual letter of notice is what's important) or "30 days written notice". They're both correct, but at least in my experience, the second is much more common.
