Legal Compliance Notice

Eviction laws vary significantly by state and locality. This document is intended as a general template. Landlords are strongly advised to:

Verify all notice periods and requirements in your jurisdiction
Check for any special COVID-19 related restrictions or moratoriums
Consider consulting with a local attorney before proceeding with an eviction

Understanding Eviction Notices

An eviction notice (also called a notice to quit) is a formal document that a landlord gives to a tenant when the landlord wants to terminate the tenancy. This is typically the first step in the legal eviction process.

Common Types of Eviction Notices

Notice to Pay Rent or Quit: Given when a tenant fails to pay rent
Notice to Cure or Quit: Given when a tenant violates a lease term
Unconditional Quit Notice: Given for serious violations with no chance to remedy
Notice of Termination (No-Fault): Given when ending a month-to-month tenancy

Required Notice Periods

Notice periods vary significantly by state and sometimes by local jurisdiction:

3-5 days is common for nonpayment of rent in many states
10-30 days is typical for lease violations
30-60 days is standard for no-fault terminations
Some states have longer periods for tenants who have lived in the property for over a year

Important: Some cities and counties have additional tenant protections and notice requirements beyond state law. Always check your local ordinances.
