Notice of intention to leave Form 13

The Notice of intention to leave (Form 13) is used when the tenant/s are giving notice to the lessor/agent that they wish to vacate the premises.

The tenant/s complete the form and give it to the lessor/agent. It may only be given in accordance with the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008.

Note: A Notice of intention to leave for unremedied breach may only be given when the seven day remedy period has elapsed.

If a lessor or agent receives this form it means that the tenants are giving them notice that they wish to vacate the premises. This may be for a number of reasons.

If you dispute the reasons on which this notice was given the lessor/agent may first attempt to resolve the issue by contacting the party who gave the notice. If attempts to resolve the issue are unsuccessful, the party can access the RTA's Dispute Resolution Service by lodging a Dispute resolution request (Form 16) with the RTA.
