What you need to know
Practical guidance — not filler. Written for landlords and tenants who need this document done right.
What this document is
A written notice that formally ends a rental agreement or documents non-renewal when a lease term expires.
When to use it
Use when ending month-to-month tenancies, giving notice before move-out, or documenting that a fixed-term lease will not renew.
Why it matters
Verbal notice is hard to prove. Wrong notice periods restart timelines and can delay move-out or expose you to holdover disputes.
Common mistakes
- Confusing termination with pay-or-quit eviction notices
- Giving too few days for your state or lease type
- Not keeping proof of delivery
When not to use this
- Evictions for non-payment or lease violations (use an eviction notice instead)
- Rent-controlled units without checking local just-cause rules
- Situations requiring court filings or attorney-drafted settlement agreements
- Parties and property address
- Termination effective date
- Notice period compliance statement
- Move-out and key return instructions
- Security deposit forwarding address
- Signature blocks

Landlord vs tenant use cases
Landlords
- End month-to-month tenancies with required notice
- Document non-renewal when a lease term expires
- Provide written notice before marketing the unit
Tenants
- Give written move-out notice per your lease
- Create a record of your intended departure date
- Include forwarding address for deposit return
State-law caution
Notice periods vary significantly by state and tenancy type. Always confirm:
- How many days notice your state requires for month-to-month vs fixed-term endings
- Whether your city has rent control or just-cause rules that limit termination
- How notice must be delivered (mail, personal delivery, or posting)
| State | Month-to-Month (typical) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| California | 30–60 days | Longer tenancies may require 60 days |
| Texas | 30 days | Lease may specify otherwise |
| Florida | 15 days (landlord MTM) | Verify §83.57 for your scenario |
| New York | 30–90 days | Depends on tenancy length and locality |
Lease termination vs. eviction notice
These documents serve different purposes:
- Lease termination notice: Normal end of tenancy — no fault implied
- Eviction notice: Used when a tenant violated lease terms or failed to pay rent
If you need to remove a tenant for lease violations, see our eviction notice generator instead.
