Document background
The Vacate Premises Notice is a crucial document in Hong Kong's property leasing ecosystem, used when a tenant intends to end their lease and surrender the property back to the landlord. It must comply with Hong Kong's Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and any specific notice requirements outlined in the original lease agreement. This document typically needs to be served within the notice period specified in the lease agreement, usually between one to three months before the intended vacation date. The notice should include specific details about the property, proposed handover arrangements, and final inspection dates. It serves as a formal trigger for the lease termination process and helps ensure a smooth transition of the property back to the landlord's possession.
