Dear …

Re: Termination of tenancy agreement at [your address]

I am writing to give you notice that I am terminating the tenancy agreement and will be giving vacant possession of the above premises on [date].

I have to break my residential tenancy agreement because of reasons beyond my control.

I draw your attention to our contract which sets out a break fee formula at clause 51.  As [n] quarter/s of the fixed term have passed, my break fee will be [4-n] weeks rent. I will include this fee which totals $[amount] with my final rent payment on [date].

I will be in contact with you closer to that date to arrange a time when we can both inspect the premises, complete a condition report and I can return the keys to you.

Yours sincerely

[T Tenant]
