Document background
The Intent To Move Out Letter is a crucial document in Indian rental relationships, required by both residential and commercial tenants when planning to terminate their lease agreement. This formal notification is mandated by various Indian laws, including the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, which typically require a minimum notice period of 15 days for month-to-month tenancies or as specified in the lease agreement. The letter should be used whenever a tenant plans to vacate a rented property and needs to provide official written notice to their landlord or property manager. It serves multiple purposes: fulfilling legal notice requirements, initiating the move-out process, and creating a paper trail for both parties' protection. The document typically includes key information such as vacation date, property details, and requests for security deposit return procedures.
