A Pennsylvania Lease Termination Letter Form (15-/30-Day Notice) is a convenient legal document that allows the tenant or the landlord to provide appropriate notice that it is their intention to vacate the property and terminate the lease. This document will provide the 30 days notice to vacate required by contract and law if the tenancy has lasted longer than one (1) year; for those tenancies of a year or under, only fifteen (15) days is required. It will also provide an address for which the landlord may return the security deposit (or a portion of the deposit) to the tenant.
