A Mississippi Lease Termination Letter Form | 30-Day Notice is a valuable tool for any Landlord and Tenant entering an at-will tenancy in the State of Mississippi. This document form serves the purpose of enabling an individual terminating an At-Will Tenancy in remaining compliant with Mississippi Code, Title 89, Chapter 8-19, by providing the framework for a termination letter. In many cases, this may also help in keeping the act of terminating on an official level rather than a personal level. This can be very important as it is generally recommended to end such agreements on a positive note.
Notice Requirement: At least 30 days prior to the termination date.
Laws – Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-19
