How To Inform Your Landlord You Are Moving
The landlord and a tenant relationship are a delicate one and the communication between them has to be polite and correct. The relationship of a landlord and a tenant involves several legalities to which both of them are bound. Several leases actually specify a notice period of time and the tenant has to inform the landlord well in advance about their plan.
However, if the relationship between the landlord and the tenant is very friendly, then they tend to ignore this notice period and they rather just inform through word of mouth.
Some tenants also just call up their landlord one fine morning and say as a matter of conversation that they expect to move in some time. Legally the tenant has to inform the landlord 60 or 30 days as per rental contract that they are moving. If they do not comply, they should pay one months rent as damages.
These kinds of problems do not occur on a regular basis but they can. In case you wish to inform your landlord that you are moving out, then you should first check out the rental agreement and then send a letter to the landlord informing him or her of the move. If possible, receive an acknowledgement as a receipt. It will keep you legally safe. While drafting a notice that you are moving you should follow the correct format like the landlord's name, address, the date you are moving out and also include a forwarding address if possible. You should also inform about the advance your landlord owes to you and how you wish to collect it. Deliver it in person or by post and then confirm the receipt of delivery.
