Before You Send (Delete This Section)

• Check the lease’s notice clause. If it requires the tenant to give notice at the end of the term, you must give non-renewal notice within the same period, and neither period can be under 30 or over 60 days (§ 83.575(1)).

• Liquidated damages need an extra notice. To charge a tenant who leaves without the required notice, send written notice of the tenant’s obligations, the termination date and all fees within 15 days before the notification period starts (§ 83.575(2)).

• Month-to-month rent changes should be given at least 30 days before the end of a monthly period.

• Keep proof of delivery, including the e-mail and evidence of transmission if you use the § 83.505 addendum.
