RE: Lease Termination Notice
Dear [tenant name],
I am writing to inform you that your lease agreement for the property located at [property address] will be terminated on [termination date] . This decision is not taken lightly, but due to [termination reason] (state a reason e.g. "the sale of the premises"), it is necessary for us to end the tenancy.
As per the lease agreement, [notice period] days' notice is required before the termination date. Therefore, the lease will expire on [termination date]. Please make arrangements to vacate the property by that date.
Please note that the security deposit will be refunded to you within 14 days after you vacate the property, provided that there is no damage to the property and all rent and other charges have been paid in full.
We sincerely appreciate your tenancy and the care you've taken of the property during your stay. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at [sender phone number] or [sender email].
Sincerely,
(Sender Signature)
