Termination Of Lease Agreement By Tenant

Giving written notice to landlord that tenant will terminate the lease 30 days from the date of the notice if the landlord does not fix the problem within 14 days; contacting a local housing code enforcement agency (if any);

Dear (Name of landlord or manager), This letter constitutes my written (number of days' notice that you need to give based on your lease agreement)-day notice that I will be moving out of my apartment on (date), the end of my current lease. I am leaving because (new job, rent increase, etc.)

A rental agreement can be oral or written. It is the same thing as a lease. An oral rental agreement is where you and the landlord agree that you can rent a unit but your agreement is not in writing. An oral rental agreement is still enforceable.

Your name, and the landlord's name and address. The date you're writing the letter. Informing the landlord you're breaking your lease early. The reason why you're breaking your lease. The building and apartment you're vacating. The date by which you're vacating.

The Lease Must be in Writing It does not matter if the lease is handwritten or typed.

The lease becomes legally binding when all parties have signed: the landlord and all tenants living in the unit who are 18 and older. If you're worried about situations where a lease needs to end early, learn about breaking a lease and grounds for eviction.

As long as the contract spells out specific details and both parties have signed that they agree to the contract's terms, a handwritten contract is legally binding and enforceable in court.
