EVICTION NOTICE FAQ
What is an Eviction Notice?
An Eviction Notice is a written communication from a landlord to a tenant indicating that the tenant must either correct a lease violation, pay overdue rent, or vacate the property within a legally required timeframe.
Why is an Eviction Notice important?
It is a legally mandated first step in the eviction process. Serving an eviction notice ensures landlords comply with housing laws and provides tenants with a fair opportunity to resolve issues before formal legal action.
When should you use an Eviction Notice?
Use it when a tenant has failed to pay rent, violated lease terms, damaged property, engaged in illegal activity, or when the lease term is ending and the property will not be renewed.
What should it include?
It should clearly state the tenant’s name, property address, reason for eviction, the time allowed to cure or vacate, reference to the lease or law, and the landlord’s name, signature, and contact information.
Are eviction laws the same everywhere?
No. Requirements vary significantly by state, province, or country, including notice periods and acceptable grounds for eviction. Always check local housing laws before issuing a notice.
