How To Identify A Proper Notice To Quit by MyLawyer(m): 12:36pm On Dec 05, 2012
First and foremost, what purpose does this ‘NOTICE TO QUIT’ serve?

‘NOTICE TO QUIT’ or ‘QUIT NOTICE’ as sometimes called has one main aim –

‘to terminate the tenancy relationship
between a landlord and his tenant.’


The essence is to ensure the property or premises in question reverts (returns) to the landlord. But then, the position of the law is that where the Tenancy Agreement between the parties is for a fixed term (fixed period), a Notice To Quit is unnecessary.

All that is required by the landlord under the law is to proceed with the Seven (7) Days Notice.

Now, the question is – How do you (as a tenant, I suppose) identify a proper Notice to Quit?

It should be noted that there is no special form (style) required by law that a Notice To Quit must appear. However, while no special form is prescribed by law, a valid Notice To Quit must contain the following:

a. The name of the landlord;
b. The name of the tenant;
c. The nature or type of tenancy, i.e. whether a monthly, half-yearly or yearly tenancy;
d. The fact that the addressee resides in the premises as a tenant to the landlord;
e. A brief description of the property or premises; and
f. The date the tenant is required to quit and deliver up possession of the premises.
