What is a notice of intent to vacate?

How much notice do you need to give?

The required notice period depends on the lease and local rules (often 30 days, but sometimes more). This template includes a fill-in notice period and encourages matching the lease’s notice clause.


What should the notice include?

Should you provide a reason?

Usually not required. If you choose to include one, keep it short and neutral. This template includes an optional reason line.
