Fill out Notice of Intent to Vacate Online in 2026

What is a notice of intent to vacate?

A notice of intent to vacate is a short letter from a tenant to a landlord that gives the date the tenant will move out. It meets the advance-notice requirement in the lease and gives the landlord a forwarding address for the deposit.

When should you send a notice of intent to vacate?

Before the notice period in your lease starts: if your lease asks for 30 days, the landlord should receive it at least 30 days before your move-out date. Send it even when the lease is ending anyway, since many leases renew automatically.

How to fill out a notice of intent to vacate?

1. Check your lease for the notice period and how notice must be delivered.

2. Open the notice in the Profi PDF editor.
