This post covers a sample letter landlord to tenant notice to vacate
Generally, a lease agreement provides freedom to the landlord or tenant to terminate the tenancy upon serving the other party sufficient notice to that effect.
Therefore if the landlord wishes to ask the tenant to vacate the property regardless of the circumstances/reasons, he/she must issue a written notice-‘notice to vacate’.
The landlord-to-tenant notice to vacate is also referred to as a ‘lease termination letter‘ or commonly as ‘eviction notice’ (oh! I hate this terminology) and it is usually given in reasonable timeframes-30/of 45/60/90 days depending on your state laws or lease agreement.
Here I will share with you a sample letter landlord to tenant notice to vacate to help you use it in the following circumstances
- if the fixed-term lease is about to expire and you do not wish to renew it. (see also: Non-renewal lase letter sample)
- You don’t like the tenant anymore and you wish to terminate the lease.
- To evict a tenant who has not vacated the property after the rental agreement has expired.
- To evict the tenant who doesn’t pay rent on time
- etc.
REMEMBER: Even though a tenant has done nothing wrong, a landlord may nonetheless issue a no-cause notice to vacate. (I like this)

Re: Notice to vacate my property
I’m writing this notice pursuant to clause 8 of our lease agreement entered on 01/01/2030 to ask you to vacate my rented property House No. 1 located at 101 Sterret avenue, Downtown within 45 days from the date you receive this notice.
The only reason I ask you to vacate the premise is that our fixed-term lease is about to expire and I do not wish to renew it because I want to sell the property and move out of the country.
I would also like to take this opportunity to let you know that you are the best tenant I ever had, you always pay your rent on time, you take care of reasonable wear and tear of the premise, and always make sure that the premise is in condition like it all yours. I feel I should say sorry for any inconvenience resulting from this notice, but I have no way out, I have to do it.
I hope you will take this notice positively and do the needful. I promise to give you a corporation in finding a new place. Please abide by the last date of moving out because I have a potential buyer who wishes to inspect the premise soon. Feel free to call me at 198-222-2222 in case you have further issues.
Best Regards

I’m writing this letter as my official notice to kindly ask you to vacate my property at [location of the rented property] rented to you via a lease agreement entered between us on [date of the lease] within 30 days from the date you receive this notice.
I understand that our lease agreement is expected to end on [date], 5 months from now, but I have compelled to give you this notice to vacate due to the following reasons

- Other tenants are complaining of your coming late behavior and start to shout and insult them while they are resting.

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any other option but to ask you to leave the premises peacefully. After adjusting any repair expenditures for any damages to the property, your security deposit will be reimbursed.
Thank you very much for your understanding!
[sincerely]
