Accommodation Leave Letter
Regardless of the type of accommodation you have on lease, there are contracts and agreements involved. Even if your lease is for a year only, you are expected to notify your landlord of your intention to renew or terminate the lease after the original time period. This obviously helps the landlord plan ahead and make sure that the property is not vacant for extended time periods in between tenancies.
If you are thinking of leaving your current accommodation, here is how you write an accommodation leave letter:
Tips for Writing an Accommodation Leave Letter
- Be clear regarding your decision to not extend the original lease agreement.
- Give a clear date for your last day on the property.
- Invite the landlord for a walk-through to assess the property.
- Request the return of your initial deposit, if you made one.

Re: Vacating property
Dear Mr. Jefferson,
I am writing today to inform you of my decision to vacate your rental property on May 30th. As per our original contract, this will mark the end of our one-year lease agreement, and I will be returning back home after having finished my studies.
I would also like to have a walk-through with you as soon as possible so that you can return my initial $1,000 deposit. Please let me know when it would be convenient for you to come over.
It was a pleasure renting with you and I wish you the very best for the future.
Please let me know if you have any concerns, you can always call me on my personal number or the landline.
Best regards,
Bill Johnson -

Mrs. Burns,

Please let me know if you have any concerns.
