  2. A notice to vacate given by the SDA provider
  3. A notice from a resident of their intention to vacate
  4. A notice from a resident of their intention to terminate the agreement because they were not properly provided with information
  5. A notice to vacate from the owner who intends to sell the property
  6. A notice to vacate from a mortgagee who intends to take possession of the property.
