About this tool
Work out the exact vacate and possession date from the notice length, the mode of service and the date of receipt.
The Notice to Vacate Date Calculator converts a notice dispatch date, a mode of service and a notice length into the exact date a tenant must hand over and the date possession falls due. It follows section 106(2) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, under which the notice period commences from the date the notice is received, and section 9 of the General Clauses Act, 1897, under which the day of receipt itself is excluded. It also flags whether the notice clears the fifteen-day (or six-month) statutory floor in section 106(1).

Adds deemed postal delivery days so the period starts where the statute says it starts.
Compares your notice against the 15-day and 6-month minimums in TPA s.106(1) and reports the shortfall in days.
Optionally pushes expiry to the end of a rent month, the way many written agreements require.
Where the agreement is silent, section 106(1) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 requires fifteen days' notice for a month-to-month lease used for any purpose other than farming or manufacturing, and six months' notice for a year-to-year agricultural or manufacturing lease. A registered agreement that specifies one, two or three months overrides these defaults.
From receipt. Section 106(2) of the Transfer of Property Act, inserted by the 2003 amendment, states that the period mentioned in sub-section (1) shall commence from the date of receipt of notice. Posting a fifteen-day notice therefore gives more than fifteen days in practice.
Not under the statute. The old requirement that the notice expire with the end of a month of the tenancy was removed by the 2003 amendment to section 106. Many written agreements still impose it as a contractual term, so read the agreement before you fix the date.
In a state that has enacted the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, section 22(2) entitles the landlord to compensation of twice the monthly rent for the first two months and four times the monthly rent afterwards, alongside a possession claim before the Rent Court. Elsewhere the landlord sues for possession and mesne profits. Take legal advice before acting.
