Frequently Asked Questions

There are three main types: (1) Pay or Quit - gives tenants a deadline to pay overdue rent or leave, (2) Cure or Quit - requires tenants to fix a lease violation or leave, and (3) Unconditional Quit - requires immediate departure for serious violations with no option to remedy.

Notice periods vary by state and violation type. Pay or Quit notices typically require 3-14 days. Cure or Quit notices usually require 7-30 days. Unconditional Quit for serious violations may require only 3 days or immediate notice depending on state law.

No, landlords must provide proper written notice before filing for eviction in court. The notice must comply with state requirements for content, timing, and delivery method. Attempting to evict without proper notice (like changing locks or removing belongings) is illegal "self-help" eviction.

After receiving an eviction notice, the tenant can: (1) comply with the notice (pay rent or fix the violation), (2) move out by the deadline, or (3) stay and wait for the landlord to file an eviction lawsuit. If the tenant doesn't leave, the landlord must go through the court eviction process.

Service methods vary by state but typically include: personal delivery to the tenant, leaving the notice with an adult at the property, certified mail, or posting on the door plus mailing a copy. Keep proof of service for court proceedings.
