A tenant can give this notice if the tenant or a child living with them is a victim of sexual or domestic violence and abuse and the tenant believes they or the child may be harmed if they stay in the unit. If the tenant is in a joint tenancy with other tenants, some or all of the other tenants can choose to sign this notice and end their interest in the tenancy as well. If this notice is not signed by all the tenants, the tenancy will continue for those tenants who did not sign the notice
The termination date in this notice must be at least 28 days after the tenant gives their landlord this notice. The termination date does not have to be the last day of a rental period or of a fixed term lease
There are some exceptions. The landlord may have to share this information with their employees such as a superintendent or property manager and they must also keep it confidential. Or, the landlord may be required by law to share information with other people who are investigating the situation.
