Document background
The End of Tenancy Letter is a critical document in Malaysian property management and real estate practices, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally conclude a tenancy arrangement. This document is essential in both residential and commercial contexts, aligning with requirements under Malaysian law, including the National Land Code 1965 and state-specific tenancy regulations. It should be issued within the notice period specified in the original tenancy agreement, typically ranging from one to three months. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification of termination, establishes a clear timeline for vacancy, outlines the property handover process, addresses security deposit return, and sets expectations for final utility settlements and property condition requirements. This document helps prevent potential disputes by clearly documenting the termination process and associated responsibilities of all parties involved.
