You don't really need a sample letter to give them notice to vacate. However, you need to follow what is written in the terms the lease. If the lease gives you the right to give 30 days notice to vacate, just be clear and to the point, politely of course, and be sure to state the date they must turn over possesion. Also send the letter regular mail and certified mail return receipt requested to be sure you have a written record of when you sent the notice. I recomend sending it regular mail as well because people will not always make the effort ot go pick it up from the post office if they weren't there to sign for it. In your letter you might also want to add in what they need to do and in what condition the property must be in order to get their security deposit back. As a landlord myself, I always ask my tenants to meet me at the property when they turn over the keys so we can do a walk through inspection together. This way there is no question as to why you deducted x amount for this or that and gives them an opportunity to correct anything to get all of their money back. Best of luck.

Create a Great Day!

Hindsite is 20/20 you should have written into the contract property to be delivered vacant. Did you get a copy of the current lease? Did you put an estoppel in the contract to prevent change of leases durring the escrow period?

Have your reviewed the contract signed with current land lord? It could have a clause states lease conveys with purchase of home could have tenants till lease expires. Landlord should supply you executed lease agreement.
