What information do I need to include in my written notice to the landlord?
Your written notice should state:
- that you “fear imminent violence” from the abuser against you or another authorized occupant if you stay in the home;
- you need to end your lease;
- the date that you will leave your housing; and
- written instructions for what to do with any personal property that remains in your housing.1
Your written notice must be given to the landlord before the date you plan to end your lease agreement. The notice can be delivered by mail, in person, or by any form of communication you normally use to communicate with your landlord. For example, you can send it by email if this is how you usually communicate with them. You also need to provide your landlord with your qualifying documentation of abuse.2
Your lease will officially end on the date you list in your notice. If you move out before that date, your lease does not officially end until the date stated in your notice.2
