Notice to Vacate Tenant
A notice to vacate is a written statement given from a tenant to a landlord informing them that you plan to move out of your unit once your lease ends. A notice to vacate is also commonly referred to as a notice of intent to vacate.
The notice to vacate letter is provided to give your landlord adequate time to find another tenant for the unit you’re vacating. The letter is usually sent out 1 to 3 months before your lease ends. A notice to vacate can be given for any lease length, from month-to-month leases to traditional 1-year leases.
