30-Day Move-Out Notice
A 30-day move-out notice is a written statement from a tenant to a landlord declaring the date the tenant will surrender possession of a rental unit, typically satisfying statutory or lease-required advance notice. Use this when a month-to-month or periodic tenant is ending their tenancy and must give written notice under the lease or local law. It creates a clear paper trail of the intended move-out date and forwarding address for deposit return.
