Indiana Notice to End a Month-to-Month Tenancy Template

What a Indiana notice to end a month-to-month tenancy must include under Indiana law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.

Use the official form if there is one

What Indiana law requires

A month-to-month tenancy (any periodic tenancy of not more than 3 months) is ended by notice equal to the rental period (one month for month-to-month); a tenancy at will requires one month's written notice delivered to the tenant; year-to-year requires notice at least 3 months before the year ends (statutory form: 'You are notified to vacate at the expiration of the current year of tenancy the following property...'). No specific contents are prescribed for the month-to-month notice. Service is the same as for other notices: on the tenant, else on a resident of the premises with an explanation, else by affixing to a conspicuous part of the premises.

Source: IC 32-31-1-1, -3, -4, -5, -9

Chapter 1 does not expressly require the month-to-month notice to be in writing (only the tenancy-at-will notice); written notice is the safe practice.

Fill-in draft

Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
