30-DAY NOTICE TO KICK OUT ROOMMATE TEMPLATE FAQ

What is a 30-day notice to kick out a roommate?

A 30-day notice to kick out a roommate is a written notice telling a roommate they must move out by a certain date — typically at least 30 days from the notice date (or longer if required). It’s commonly used for month-to-month living arrangements or roommate agreements that allow termination with notice.

Is this an eviction notice?

Not necessarily. This notice is usually a roommate-to-roommate or homeowner-to-occupant notice and may not be the same as a formal legal eviction notice required by a court process. If the roommate refuses to leave, you may need to follow local eviction procedures.

What should the notice include?

Include: roommate name, address, date of notice, move-out deadline, what needs to be done before leaving (cleaning, keys, removal of belongings), and how bills/deposit will be handled. This template includes each of those items in plain language.

Do you need a reason?

Often you don’t need to give a reason, but you can include a short neutral reason if it helps. This template includes an optional reason line.

What if the roommate is on the lease?

If the roommate is on the lease, you typically cannot remove them unilaterally without landlord involvement or a signed agreement. This template includes a note to confirm lease status and suggests coordinating with the landlord if needed.
