Crucial Notice to Quit Facts to Help You End Your Tenancy Easily PDF Print E-mail
Written by Teo Zhenjie   

If your tenant refuses to leave after you have issued a valid notice, you will need to initiate an eviction lawsuit against them. Once you receive a judgment against the tenants, only then can law enforcement officials remove them from the property.

Using a Notice to Quit to End a Periodic Tenancy with Your Tenant

A notice to quit can also be issued to end a periodic tenancy (week to week or month to month) and a verbal lease as well. Either the landlord or the tenant may issue this written notice.

Neither party will need the approval of the other as long as the notice is given 30 to 60 days before the next rental payment is due. In some areas and in some situations, the notice period may be longer or shorter.

For example different requirements may apply for those who are disabled or elderly. Renters covered by government housing subsidies such as Section 8 also have different requirements for ending a tenancy. In the case of Section 8, a tenant must be given 90 days notice to vacate the premises.

It's important to understand that you cannot end a lease in this way if you are in a lease with a fixed time period and your tenant has broken no rules. In that case, you are legally bound to honor the lease agreement under most circumstances.

If both the landlord and tenant have abided by the lease terms, the only way to end the lease is if both parties voluntarily agree to do so.  Teo Zhenjie
