This is a sample 30 Day Notice to Vacate a property. This is a notice required to be delivered to the tenant before an eviction action may be filed. The amount of time given to vacate depends on the length of the tenancy. Tenancies of less than one year are given 30 days to vacate. Tenancies of one year or more are given 60 days to vacate. The form may be customized to suit your needs.
Keep it simple: include your name, address, and the date you plan to leave. A polite thank-you to your landlord won’t hurt either; it makes you look good when you leave on good terms!
Not really. If you've done everything by the book, your landlord has to respect your notice. It's your word that you plan to leave.
If you skip the notice, you might be leaving your landlord hanging and could end up on the hook for rent longer than you want. It’s usually best to follow the rules and give that notice.
You can deliver it in person, drop it in the mail, or email it—just make sure it gets to them! It's best to keep a copy for yourself, just in case.
Nope, you don’t need to provide a reason. Whether you're moving for work, family, or just need a change of scenery, you can just say you’re leaving.
A 30-day notice to vacate is a formal letter you give your landlord to let them know you're planning to move out in a month. It's like giving them a heads-up, so they know what’s coming down the pipeline.
