Proper Notice Reminder form is given when a tenant gives inadequate notice that they wish to terminate their tenancy and move out. This actually happens quite commonly. Usually most leases and month-to-month rental agreements require at least 60 days notice if a tenant wishes to end their tenancy. In the case of a lease, a tenant is not able to break their lease during the lease term. Different jurisdictions have different laws regarding what can be done if inadequate notice is given. Depending on where the rental property is, you can seek restitution through courts, or a tribunal, or a tenant may be permitted to break a lease or agreement under certain circumstances.
In any event, your main priority is giving yourself enough time to find a replacement tenant – as your tenant will likely be intent on leaving no matter what. This Proper Notice form is a warning and reminder that you intend to hold your tenant accountable and expect them to fulfill the terms of their lease/rental agreement.
Why Do I Need This Form?
- Remind your tenant that not giving enough notice to end a tenancy is unacceptable
- Document when and how tenant disclosed inadequate notice in case of a hearing/tribunal situation
- Preserve the landlord/tenant relationship and determine tenant’s intentions through engagement
