Document background
The Moving Out Notice is a critical document in New Zealand's residential tenancy system, designed to formally initiate the process of ending a tenancy agreement. This notice must be provided in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, which typically requires a minimum notice period of 28 days for periodic tenancies. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides legal notification of the tenant's intention to vacate, establishes the timeline for moving out, and initiates processes such as final property inspections and bond refunds. Property managers and landlords rely on this notice to plan for property turnover, while tenants use it to ensure their legal obligations are met when ending a tenancy. The notice should include essential information such as property details, intended vacation date, and tenant information to be legally valid.
