A Washington D.C. lease termination letter is used by either a landlord or tenant to announce the end of a month-to-month lease agreement. The minimum required notice period is 30 days from the next payment period.

Laws

  • Delivery: Notice must be delivered personally, whenever possible. If that cannot be done, notice must be left at the dwelling with a person of appropriate age. If no person is on the premises, a copy may be posted in a conspicuous place at the residence and a copy must be mailed by first class post.[1]
  • Notice Period: 30 days.[2]
  • Penalty for Holdover: If the tenant refuses to leave the property, he or she may be liable for double the rent for the entire time that he or she remains on the property without the landlord’s consent.[3]
