West Virginia Notice of Intent Not to Renew at End of Specified Term from Landlord to Tenant for Residential Property
What is this form?
The Notice of Intent Not to Renew at End of Specified Term from Landlord to Tenant for Residential Property is a legal document that landlords use to inform tenants that their lease will not be extended. This form is essential for landlords who wish to clearly communicate their intention not to renew a lease that ends on a specific date, ensuring the tenant is aware of the need to vacate the property by that date. Unlike a standard lease termination notice, this form is specifically crafted for leases that have an agreed expiration date and no further notice is required to terminate the lease.
Main sections of this form
- Details of the landlord and tenant, including names and addresses.
- Description of the leased premises.
- Lease expiration date.

When to use this document
This form should be used when a landlord decides not to renew a residential lease that is set to expire.

This helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures a smooth transition for both parties.
