An Arizona lease termination letter is a written notice that a landlord or a tenant gives to end a month-to-month tenancy. Under Arizona's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, the notice must be in writing and given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date it names.[1] The FormsPal template is a landlord's notice to the tenant, with service details to record delivery.

Arizona sets one notice rule for month-to-month tenancies and a shorter one for week-to-week tenancies. Either the landlord or the tenant may give the notice, and it must be in writing.[1] The two rules are listed below.
The landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by a written notice given to the other at least thirty days prior to the periodic rental date specified in the notice.
A lease agreement starts a tenancy and a termination letter ends it. If you still need the lease itself, see our Arizona rental lease agreement templates or the full list of rental agreement forms.
Arizona's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is Chapter 10 of Title 33 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Sections 33-1301 through 33-1381.[2]

Use a termination letter when a residential rental runs month to month or week to week and one side wants to end it in writing. Check your lease first to confirm which kind of tenancy you have, because the statute sets a different notice period for each kind.[1]
If a tenant does not leave by the date in the letter, you may need a different document. Our Arizona eviction notice templates cover that next stage.
A lease termination in writing gives both sides the same information: who is ending the tenancy, which residential property it covers, and when it ends. A written record also helps if the parties later disagree about what was said.
These are practical checks, not legal requirements. A few minutes spent on them before you sign can save you from writing a corrected letter later, and they help the termination date match what the lease says.
The FormsPal letter is a one-page form titled Notice of Termination of Month-to-Month Tenancy. It tells the tenant that the tenancy ends on a date the letter states, and it asks the tenant to move out by that date. Most of the information on the form is names, addresses and dates, so you can gather it from the lease before you start. The form has these parts:
The FormsPal termination letter has four parts to fill in, from the tenant's name at the top to the delivery details at the bottom. The steps below follow the form in that order. You can type into the PDF with our online PDF editor or print it and write by hand.
The screenshots under each step show the FormsPal Arizona lease termination letter template filled with sample entries in blue, so you can see where each answer goes. The names, addresses, dates and amounts are examples only.
