give notice
Formally announce leaving
To give notice is to formally inform someone of something, especially an impending change.
Most commonly, it means announcing your intention to leave a job: She gave two weeks' notice before starting her new position.
Landlords and tenants give notice before ending a lease.
The phrase implies advance warning—time for the other party to prepare.
