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)

About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal termination notice sent by a landlord to a tenant. It contains specific fields for the termination reason and a commitment to refund the security deposit within 14 days of the property being vacated. It is not an eviction notice for breach of contract or non-payment of rent.
When should you use it?
Use this notice when a lease is being ended lawfully according to its own terms, such as at the end of a fixed term or during a break clause. Use a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit instead if the tenant is in default of their payment obligations.
Who it's for
- a landlord providing formal notice to a tenant that a lease is ending due to a property sale
- a property owner exercising a notice period provision to recover possession of a premises
- a lessor informing a lessee about the timeline for a security deposit refund after vacating
