What is a tenant notice? These are letters that are given to the landlord for a few things:

  • Lease terminations
  • Formal repair requests - this is called a Notice to Repair which is a way of telling the Landlord they are failing on a certain part of the lease. This is useful is the Air Conditioning is broken and they have not fixed it yet. The notice can include a day that they are required to repair it, or the lease is invalid and can be cancelled. This also includes safety issues.
  • Intent to vacate - This lets the Landlord know you are going to leave at the end of the lease. Typically these are sent 60 days before the end so you don’t get a month to month extension automatically, depends on what is in the lease.
  • Notice of termination - this is if the Tenant wants to leave early before the lease is up. There are many reasons for leaving a lease early, Landlord failure to repair something, moving out of town due to employment, etc. There are companies that will help find issues related to the property if a Tenant is truly set on leaving.
