Re: Notice to vacate — [Rental property address]

Dear [Your landlord's name],

Please accept this letter as my formal written notice that I will terminate my tenancy at [Rental property address] and vacate the premises on [Move-out date].

Under Nevada Revised Statutes § 40.251 (Possession after notice — periodic tenancy termination periods) (NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1)), a month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by the tenant on 30 days written notice. This notice is given in accordance with that requirement and with any additional notice period my lease provides.

I will leave the unit clean and in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will return all keys and access devices on or before my move-out date. I would like a move-out inspection during my final week; please propose a date and time.

Please send my security deposit, with any itemized statement required by law, to my forwarding address: [Your forwarding address]. Kindly confirm receipt of this notice in writing.

Sincerely,

[Your full name]

Notice to vacate law in Nevada

Tenant notice required: 30 days
Governing statute: NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1)
How the clock runs: Nevada's periodic-tenancy provisions set the notice to end a monthly tenancy at 30 days (7 days for week-to-week), so a tenant should give the landlord written notice at least 30 days before the move-out date named in it. The statute does not require the date to fall on a rent-period boundary, though many Nevada leases add that requirement.
Delivering the notice: Put the notice in writing and deliver it personally or by certified mail with a kept copy; landlord-served notices must follow the formal service rules of NRS 40.280, and tenants are wise to mirror that formality for proof.
Fixed-term leases: A fixed-term lease ends on its own date, and under NRS 118A.470 a holdover with the landlord's consent becomes a month-to-month tenancy (week-to-week for weekly payers) on the same terms. Check the lease for its own non-renewal notice clause, which Nevada courts will enforce.

Worth knowing: Caveat: the 30-day/7-day periods are codified in the unlawful-detainer (eviction) statute and framed around notices the tenant receives; no Nevada statute separately codifies a tenant-side notice duty, so the tenant's 30 days rests on universal practice, court self-help guidance, and lease terms rather than an express command — check the lease first. Tenants 60 or older or with a disability may request an extra 30 days when a landlord terminates (NRS 40.251(2)) and may terminate early on 30 days' notice for a care-related relocation (NRS 118A.340). Victims of domestic violence, harassment, sexual assault, or stalking can end a rental agreement effective at the end of the current rental period or 30 days after notice, whichever is sooner (NRS 118A.345). Rent increases on monthly tenancies require 60 days' advance written notice (NRS 118A.300).

Field notes

Three tips before you send

Put the notice in writing and deliver it personally or by certified mail with a kept copy; landlord-served notices must follow the formal service rules of NRS 40.280, and tenants are wise to mirror that formality for proof.
Nevada's periodic-tenancy provisions set the notice to end a monthly tenancy at 30 days (7 days for week-to-week), so a tenant should give the landlord written notice at least 30 days before the move-out date named in it. The statute does not require the date to fall on a rent-period boundary, though many Nevada leases add that requirement.
Date math is unforgiving — the clock usually runs from the day your landlord receives the notice, not the day you write it. Build in a few days of cushion, and photograph the empty unit when you hand back the keys.

When to use this letter

Moving out should be the easy part — but in Nevada, when you give notice and how you deliver it decide whether you owe another month of rent. The rule that matters: for a month-to-month tenancy, Nevada law generally requires 30 days written notice from the tenant, under Nevada Revised Statutes § 40.251 (Possession after notice — periodic tenancy termination periods). This generator writes a tenant's notice to vacate that cites NRS 40.251(1)(b)(1) by name, states your move-out date, and asks for the move-out inspection and your deposit instructions in the same letter — so nothing gets renegotiated later. No blank template to fight with: fill in your landlord, the address, and the date, then send it in a way you can prove, because notice clocks here run from delivery, not from the day you write it.
