Form N9 – Tenant’s Notice to End the Tenancy
The document is a Tenant’s Notice to End the Tenancy (Form N9), used by tenants to inform their landlord of their intention to vacate the rental unit. It outlines the process for giving notice, including required timelines based on the type of tenancy, and specific conditions under which the notice can be given.
It also provides information on what happens after the notice is given, including the landlord’s rights and the tenant’s responsibilities to move out by the termination date. Additional details cover exceptions and conditions for special cases like care homes and student accommodations, emphasizing the importance of understanding both parties’ rights and obligations under the rental agreement.
Filling out the Form N9 involves the following steps:
- Landlord’s Name and Address: Start by writing the full name of your landlord and the address of your rental unit at the top of the form.
- Tenant’s Name(s): Include the full name(s) of all tenants on the lease who are giving notice to end the tenancy.
- Notice Reason: Indicate that the purpose of this form is to notify the intention to move out of the rental unit.
- Termination Date: Specify the last day of your tenancy, ensuring it complies with the required notice period. This date should be the end of a rental period, such as the last day of the month for monthly tenancies, and at least 60 days after giving the notice for most tenancies.
- Sign and Date: Sign the form, include your phone number, and date it to confirm the notice. The date format should be dd/mm/yyyy.
- Delivery Method: Indicate how you delivered the notice to your landlord (e.g., in person, by mail, email).
Remember to read the form carefully for specific details regarding your situation, as there might be exceptions based on the type of tenancy or other circumstances.
