Document background
The Tenant Leaving Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's property rental market, used to formally communicate a tenant's intention to end their lease and vacate a property. This document is essential for both residential and commercial tenancies, serving as official notice under Hong Kong's Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance. The letter should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the notice period specified in the lease agreement, typically ranging from one to three months. A properly drafted Tenant Leaving Letter helps ensure a smooth handover process, clarity on move-out dates, and proper documentation for security deposit returns. It also serves as evidence of proper notice given, which is particularly important in Hong Kong's highly regulated property market where formal documentation is essential for legal compliance and dispute prevention.
