Document background
The Leaving Apartment Letter is a crucial document in Philippine residential tenancy relationships, required when a tenant plans to end their lease agreement and vacate a rental property. This formal notification must align with Philippine legal requirements, particularly the notice periods specified in the Rent Control Act and the Civil Code of the Philippines. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides official notice of the intended move-out date, requests final property inspection, addresses security deposit return, and establishes a record of proper lease termination procedure. It should be used whenever a tenant plans to end their tenancy, whether at the natural conclusion of the lease term or in cases of early termination where permitted by law. The letter typically contains specific details about the property, move-out date, and forwarding address, while also maintaining professional courtesy in the landlord-tenant relationship.
