"I will not be renting the room after November 30. Sincerely." You should have given the notice before November 1, so there is a possibility that you could owe for December, but it may not be worth it to them to worry about it.

It is always preferable for transactions related to real property to be in writing.

Give the landlord written notice of intent to vacate the premises.

Simply state, best in writing, that you are not interested in continuing your tenancy following the expiration of the current period, which ends November 30, 2013 and will be vacating on our before that date.

You don't have to give notice. If the lease expires, that is all the notice you need. Just be sure to be out by the last allowed day. As a matter of courtesy, you may want to provide a written statement saying very simply that you do not intent to renew the lease and plan to be out accordingly. That should do it.
