Understanding Eviction Notice Requirements

Before a landlord can file for eviction in court, they must provide proper notice to the tenant. The type and length of notice depends on the reason for eviction and the state where the property is located.

Non-Payment Notices

When a tenant fails to pay rent, landlords must provide a "Pay or Quit" notice. This gives tenants a chance to pay before the eviction proceeds. Notice periods range from immediate in some states to 14 days in others.

Lease Violation Notices

For violations other than non-payment, landlords typically provide a "Cure or Quit" notice allowing tenants to fix the problem. Some serious violations may allow for immediate termination without a cure period.

Month-to-Month Terminations

Either party can end a month-to-month tenancy with proper notice, usually 30 days. Some states require longer notice periods, especially in rent-controlled areas.
