Sample Early Lease Termination Letter

An Early Lease Termination Letter is a legal document prepared by the tenant or landlord who wants to cancel the lease before it expires. Any lease should contain a clause that allows either party to leave the residence or commercial property with advance notice for the other party. Check the papers you have signed once the tenant moved in - for instance, the landlord may exercise their right to keep advance rent payments, or you need to inform the other party about the cancellation thirty or sixty days in advance.

This letter must contain the names and contact information of the parties to make the identification easier, confirmation of the writer's intention to terminate the lease agreement early, reference to the original contract signed by the parties, and the date when the property will be or must be vacated. You may add the reason for the early termination if you wish to explain the situation better. Sign and date the letter. Offer the recipient to contact you if they have any questions or if you need to negotiate certain conditions of termination. You may download a Sample Early Lease Termination Letter below.
