What is a month-to-month tenant's termination letter?

A month-to-month tenant's termination letter is a document that is given to a landlord by a month-to-month tenant in order to put the landlord on notice that the tenant will be leaving the rental unit upon a specific date, usually occurring at the end of the rental term. Most states and rental agreements require that the landlord receive this letter in order to end the tenancy.

What should I do before terminating my month-to-month tenancy?

Before terminating a month-to-month tenancy, the tenant should carefully review the entire rental agreement. Some agreements will contain specific requirements that must be met in order to send a termination letter to the landlord.

What happens to my security deposit?

In general, if a security deposit remains unused, the landlord will return the deposit amount to the tenant through a check or a direct deposit. If the deposit was only partially used, the remaining balance would be returned to the tenant. However, it is important to thoroughly review the rental agreement for any restrictions or penalties that might apply.

What information should I have at hand?

Before drafting your termination letter, it is important to know the address where you want your landlord to send your security deposit. You will also need to have your landlord's name and address at hand. As for relative dates pertaining to notice, feel free to leave the date on which you plan to send the notice blank and fill it in at a later time if you don’t yet know when it will be. That said, you will need to know the date on which your lease agreement went into effect.

Is a move-out inspection required?

Landlords will usually perform such an inspection in order to subtract any amounts from your security deposit due to damages. Our month-to-month tenant's termination letter allows you to express through the notice your desire to attend the move-out inspection in order to avoid unexpected deductions and to dispute questionable damage claims.
