Before you send it

Read the rent agreement first. It fixes the notice period and what can be deducted from the deposit.
Give the notice in a way you can prove later: by hand with a signed copy, by registered post, or by email or WhatsApp with an acknowledgement.
Take dated photos of the house before you hand over the keys.
Ask for a simple note from the landlord that the house is handed over and no dues remain.
