Notice of Termination to Landlord (Tenant Ending a Tenancy)
When you are the tenant and you want to move out, you give your landlord written notice. The amount of notice depends on your type of tenancy.

What it is
This is the form a tenant uses to give a landlord proper written notice that the tenancy is ending. It records the unit, your move-out date, and your signature.
When to use it
- You are moving out of a month-to-month, week-to-week, or year-to-year tenancy.
- You are not renewing a fixed-term lease and want to confirm it in writing.
The rule in New Brunswick
Month to month: at least one full month's notice, ending on the last day of a rental period.
Week to week: at least one week's notice. Year to year: at least three months before the end of the lease year.
A fixed-term lease ends on its end date, but giving written notice that you will not renew is good practice.
How to fill it
- 1
Enter your name and the rental address.
- 2
Set your move-out date so it gives the right amount of notice for your tenancy type.
- 3
Sign and date it, and give it to your landlord, keeping a copy.
- 4
Pass along a forwarding address for the return of your deposit.
Common mistakes
- Giving 30 days from today instead of ending on the last day of a rental period.
- Telling the landlord verbally only, with no written record.

Common questions
How much notice do I give to move out in New Brunswick?
One full month for month-to-month ending on the last day of a rental period, one week for week-to-week, or three months before the end of the lease year for a yearly tenancy.
Can I just leave when my fixed-term lease ends?
A fixed-term lease ends on its end date, but giving written notice that you are not renewing keeps a clear record and helps arrange your deposit return.
