Guide

Giving notice to vacate: dates, inspection and deposit in one letter

A tenancy ends cleanly when both sides know the date. A notice to vacate is the tenant’s written statement of that date. It starts the notice period, tells the landlord when to arrange an inspection and a refund, and avoids arguments about whether you really said you were leaving. This tool writes the letter and works out the date.

What you provide

Your name and the rented property, the landlord’s name and address, the date of the letter, and the notice period in days under your agreement, for example 30. Choose how the move-out date is set: either “the first day allowed by the notice period”, which the tool calculates, or a date you choose. You can add a reason, which is optional, and the date of your tenancy agreement. Then give a forwarding address, switch on a request for a joint inspection, and, if you want the deposit back, switch on the deposit request and type the amount with its currency.

How the date works

With the calculated option, the move-out date is the letter date plus the notice days. A letter dated 10 November 2026 with 30 days gives 10 December 2026, and the text says that this is 30 days after the date of the notice, as the agreement requires. If you choose your own date, that date is printed instead and the “30 days after” wording is dropped. In both cases the letter says you will pay rent up to and including that date.

The rest of the letter

The inspection paragraph asks the landlord to arrange a joint inspection on or shortly before the move-out date so the condition of the property is recorded together, and says you will return all keys then. If you turn it off, the letter says only that you will return the keys on the move-out date. The deposit paragraph states the amount you paid and asks for its return, with any lawful deductions explained in writing, within the time the agreement or the law allows, to your forwarding address or to a bank account you will give. The letter ends by asking the landlord to confirm in writing that notice was received and that the move-out date is agreed.

Two worked notices

The first sample is Neha Joshi, dated 10 November 2026, vacating Flat 4B, Lake View Apartments in Pune after a transfer to another city, under an agreement dated 1 December 2025. The calculated date is 10 December 2026, she asks for an inspection, and she asks for her ₹54,000 deposit back, with a forwarding address in Nashik. The second sample is Dev Malhotra, with a 60-day notice period and a chosen date of 31 January 2027, with no inspection or deposit paragraph, leaving a property in Bristol.

Before you hand it over

Check the lock-in period in your agreement, because notice given during a lock-in may not shorten it. Give the notice early enough for the landlord to find a new tenant, and keep your own copy with proof of delivery. Photograph the property and take final meter readings on the day you leave.

Limits

Notice rules vary: how much notice is needed, how it must be delivered and whether it must align with a rent period all depend on the agreement and local law. The tool does not know either, and the calculated date is a simple count of days. It is a general format and not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

When does the notice period start?

Usually from the day the landlord receives the notice, not the day you write it, and some agreements count from the next rent due date. Read the clause in your agreement, and deliver the letter by a method that records the date, so the start is not in dispute.

What if I need to leave before the notice period ends?

You normally still owe rent up to the end of the notice period or the lock-in, unless the landlord agrees otherwise or a new tenant takes over. Ask in writing for an earlier release, and offer to help find a replacement, which landlords often accept.

How much notice must a tenant give?

Whatever the tenancy agreement and local law require. One month is common in India and 30 to 60 days elsewhere, and some agreements have a lock-in period during which notice is not allowed.

Does notice have to be in writing?

It should be. Written notice, delivered in a way you can prove, avoids disputes about when the notice period began. Keep a copy and proof of delivery.
