What this document does

A landlord's written notice that starts the process of ending a residential tenancy: a notice to pay rent or vacate, to cure a lease violation or vacate, to vacate without an opportunity to cure, to end a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy, or to vacate after a lease term has ended. It is not a court filing and does not by itself remove a tenant; the state checklist shown beside the document lists the notice period, form and delivery rules LeaseCraft has recorded for the selected state.

Questions about the Eviction Notice

Five: a notice to pay rent or vacate when rent is late; a notice to cure a lease violation or vacate when the problem can be corrected; a notice to vacate with no opportunity to cure for serious or repeated violations, illegal activity or damage; a notice ending a month-to-month or week-to-week tenancy without stating a cause (or a non-renewal); and a notice to vacate after a lease term has ended and the tenant has stayed. You choose the kind first, and the questions and wording follow from it.

No. The notice prints the deadline you choose and says how many days that gives the tenant, counted from the delivery date. Beside the document, a checklist lists the notice period, counting basis, form, delivery and just-cause rules LeaseCraft has recorded for your state, with the statute it read, the date it read it and a link to the official source. Where the recorded minimum is verified at the official source and your deadline is too soon, the document is not prepared until you move it.

Some states require a notice to be on, or to contain, a form or statement that LeaseCraft does not reproduce. Where that rule has been verified at the official source, LeaseCraft stops rather than produce a notice that could be defective, and points you to the official form. Where the state requires a separate document to be served with the notice, the checklist says so and links to it.

Some states and cities allow a landlord to end a tenancy or refuse renewal only for a reason the law lists. The checklist says whether your state has such a law and what it covers. A no-cause notice cannot be used for a tenancy that a just-cause law covers; if you are not sure whether it covers yours, the checklist tells you what to determine before serving.

The last page is a Certificate of Service that the person delivering the notice completes: the date, the method, the details of the delivery and a signature. Keep it with your copy of the notice. The checklist lists the delivery methods LeaseCraft has recorded for your state.

No. A notice is the first step. If the tenant does not pay, correct the problem or move out by the deadline, the landlord may begin legal proceedings to recover possession; only a court process removes a tenant. LeaseCraft is not a law firm and this document is not legal advice.
