Indiana lease termination letters are used to terminate tenancy agreements. Under Indiana law, landlords and tenants must give each other at least 30 days’ notice to cancel a monthly lease and 90 days for a yearly lease.
To ensure compliance with the law, it is recommended that the notice be sent by registered mail or another delivery service that requires a signature. If the lease requires a specific method of notice, this must be followed.
Landlords may also use an Indiana 30-day notice to quit to terminate a month-to-month lease without cause, while tenants can use it to notify their landlord of their intention to move out within one month.
It is important to remember that if the notice period expires and the tenant remains on the property, the landlord can file an eviction suit.
