NOTICE TO QUIT TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF PROPERTY TEMPLATE FAQ
What is a notice to quit to recover possession?
A Notice to Quit is a written notice from a landlord (or property owner) demanding that a tenant or occupant leave the property and return possession by a specific date. It is commonly used when ending a tenancy or when an occupant does not have a right to remain, subject to local laws.
Is this the same as an eviction?
A notice to quit is usually a required first step before a formal eviction case. It does not by itself remove someone. If the tenant/occupant does not leave, the landlord typically must follow court eviction procedures.
When should you use a notice to quit?
Use it when the tenancy is ending (month-to-month termination), after a lease expires, when a tenant is holding over, or when the tenant has violated terms that allow termination. The correct notice period and wording vary by jurisdiction, so the template includes a customizable deadline.
What should the notice include?
Include: property address, tenant/occupant names, reason for termination (if required), the date to vacate, instructions for surrendering keys, and how the notice is delivered. This template includes those items in plain language.
Should you include a reason?
Some jurisdictions require a reason; others do not. If you’re unsure, include a short neutral reason and keep it factual. This template includes optional reason lines and a compliance note.
