A formal notice to vacate in two minutes — free, no AI

How it works

1. Fill in the essentials — you, the property, your landlord, and the date you'll move out.
2. Check the state note — the generator shows the common statutory minimum notice while you type.
3. Download PDF, sign it, and deliver it the way your lease requires (email plus printed copy is a safe default).

Why a written notice matters

• It starts the clock — most state notice periods only count from a written notice, not a verbal heads-up.
• It protects your deposit — a dated letter plus a forwarding address documents that you met your obligations.
• Keep it neutral — this letter becomes part of the tenancy record; courtesy costs nothing and references cost less.
• Nothing is uploaded — the letter names your home and landlord. Here it is assembled in your browser; there is no server and no AI in the loop.

FAQ

How much notice do I have to give?

Thirty days is the most common US minimum for month-to-month tenancies, but it varies by state and your lease may require more. The state note in the form shows the common statutory minimum — your rental agreement always takes precedence.

Should I mention problems with the apartment?

Not in this letter. Keep the notice to vacate short and neutral; raise repairs or disputes in a separate letter so neither document muddies the other.

When should I send it?

Early — ideally the day you're certain, and always at least one full notice period before your intended move-out date, counted from when the landlord receives it.

Is this legal advice?

No — it's a general-purpose template with general information. For a contested deposit, an eviction threat or an unusual lease clause, ask a local tenants' rights organization or attorney.
