As a tenant, there may come a time when you need to terminate your rental agreement. Whether it’s because you’re relocating to a new city, moving in with a partner or purchasing your own home, there are a number of reasons why you may need to end your lease early.
In such a scenario, it’s important to provide your landlord with a notice to terminate rental agreement to ensure that the lease is terminated in a timely and legally compliant manner. The notice should be clear and concise, and contain all the relevant information that your landlord needs to know.
Here’s a sample notice to terminate rental agreement that you can use as a guide when writing your own notice:
