Notice to Vacate Template

Legal disclaimer: This template is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Notice period requirements vary by state and lease type. Consult a licensed attorney before serving a notice in a disputed situation.

Ending a tenancy without a proper written notice is one of the fastest ways to create a legal dispute — whether you’re the landlord or the tenant. This template gives both parties a clear, professional document that meets the formal notice requirements most states require.

For landlords: Use the landlord-to-tenant notice to formally communicate the end of a tenancy, whether it’s a non-renewal at the end of the term, a lease violation notice, or an owner move-in situation. The state reference guide tells you exactly how many days’ notice your state requires.

For tenants: Use the tenant-to-landlord intent to vacate to give proper written notice before you move out — protecting your security deposit and ensuring you have no further rent obligation after your move-out date.
