Letter from landlord notice to vacate premises

This is a statutorily defined document.

Even in private leases, tenant's rights are covered by law.

Always check the applicable law regarding period of notice, and terms of notice. Make sure you're familiar with the law.

In many cases these notices are required to inform tenants of their rights.

It's advisable to give notice in excess of the statutory period, to ensure compliance with regulations.

Under certain circumstances tenants may:

Request an extension of time to leave the premises.
Dispute the notice to quit.
Take statutory action prescribed by law regarding the notice to quit.

It's not strictly speaking necessary to give a reason for termination of tenancy. A landlord may usually require vacant possession of the premises under any circumstances. However, in the event of a dispute, the landlord will need to cite the basis of notice to vacate to the arbitration body.
