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.

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.
