Do 30 day notices have to be in writing?

Answer by  jh (138)

Your lease agreement will likely dictate the format of your 30 day notice. The most common specificaion of 30 day notices is in writing, which allows both the lessor and the lessee to have written documentation of the agreed upon terms of the intent to move. Since leases vary widely, always refer to your individual lease agreement.

Yes, it is important to give your notice in writing. Although verbal notice may be sufficient, it is impossible to prove that you ever gave it if they contest it.
