RE: Notice of Termination of Month-to-Month Tenancy — [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
Dear [TENANT NAME],
This letter is formal notice that your month-to-month tenancy at the address above is terminated effective [TERMINATION EFFECTIVE DATE]. You must vacate and return possession of the premises, including all keys, fobs, remotes, and parking or mailbox access, no later than [TIME, e.g., 11:59 p.m.] on that date.
This notice provides at least [NUMBER OF DAYS REQUIRED IN YOUR JURISDICTION] days’ notice, as required by applicable law and your rental agreement.
Delete before sending: 30 days is a common minimum for month-to-month terminations, but some jurisdictions require 60 days or more — for example, for tenants who have lived in the unit longer than a set period — and some require the termination date to fall at the end of a rental period. Confirm the correct day count and effective-date rules before serving.
Move-out expectations. On or before the termination date, please:
- Remove all personal belongings and dispose of all trash.
- Leave the unit in a clean condition, comparable to move-in, allowing for ordinary wear and tear.
- Complete any move-out tasks required by your lease (e.g., [CARPET CLEANING / NAIL-HOLE REPAIR / OTHER — delete if not applicable]).
- Return all keys and access devices to [RETURN LOCATION OR PERSON].
- Pay rent through the termination date; rent for the final period is $[FINAL RENT AMOUNT], due [FINAL RENT DUE DATE].
Move-out inspection. We would like to schedule a move-out inspection on or near your last day. Please contact us at [PHONE NUMBER] or [EMAIL ADDRESS] to arrange a time. Delete if not applicable: some states give tenants the right to request an initial inspection before move-out with an opportunity to fix deductions — check your local rules.
Security deposit. Your security deposit of $[DEPOSIT AMOUNT] will be handled in accordance with applicable law. Within the legally required deadline after you vacate, we will return the deposit and/or provide an itemized statement of any lawful deductions. Delete before sending: state deadlines vary — Indiana, for example, requires the deposit and itemized statement within 45 days; many states require 14–30 days. Confirm your state’s deadline.
Forwarding address. Please provide a forwarding address in writing on or before your move-out date so we can send your deposit refund and any required statements:
Forwarding address: _______________________________________________
