Required Information

It’s essential that the landlord and tenant specify the following information when filling out the release form:

  • Original Lease – The form must include the start date of the original lease and the address of the tenant’s rental unit.
  • Move-Out Date – Because a lease release terminates the rental agreement, the new deadline for the tenant to vacate should be stated.
  • Payment – Landlords often receive payment from the tenant to end the lease early and free them from liability. Whatever amount the parties agree to must be specified in the release form.
