RE: Notice of Intent to Vacate — [Unit Address]
Dear [Landlord Name],
This letter serves as my formal notice that I intend to vacate the above-referenced property on [Move-Out Date], which provides [Number] days' notice as required under my lease.
Forwarding Information
Please send my security deposit and any related correspondence to: [Forwarding Address]
Move-Out Details
I will ensure the unit is left in clean condition, consistent with normal wear and tear. Please let me know if you'd like to schedule a move-out inspection.
Thank you for [Duration] as a resident. Please contact me at [Phone/Email] with any questions.
Sincerely, [Your Name] [Current Address, Unit #]
*Providing this notice with more than the minimum required days (rather than exactly on the deadline) gives the landlord more runway to find a new tenant and reduces friction around getting your full deposit back.*
