Notifying Your Landlord About Moving Out: what to say in English
Formally Notify Landlord
Hi, I wanted to let you know that I'll be moving out at the end of next month. Do I need to give 30 days' notice in writing?

When does my lease actually end? I want to make sure I'm not breaking it early.
Confirm lease end date to avoid penalties.
Is there a specific form I need to fill out, or is an email enough?

Deposit and Move-Out Details
When can I expect to get my deposit back? And is there anything I need to do to make sure I get the full amount?
Ask about deposit return process.
I've kept the place in really good shape. There shouldn't be any deductions, right?

Arrange Final Walkthrough
Do we need to schedule a walkthrough before I leave? I want to get everything sorted.
Schedule a final inspection before leaving.
I've cleaned everything and cleared out all my stuff. The keys are on the kitchen counter.

Thanks for being a great landlord. I really enjoyed living here.
