Notice of lease non-renewal

Use this notice when a fixed-term lease will not be renewed. Check your state's notice period first (New York: 30, 60 or 90 days by tenancy length) and any just-cause or good cause rule that requires a reason.

Recommended: Certified + return receipt ($17.99)The return receipt proves the tenant got the notice before the required notice period began.
