Notice to Quit / Pay Rent or Quit
Formal notice from landlord to tenant demanding payment of overdue rent or vacating the premises, a required first step before filing an eviction lawsuit.
Instructions
State the tenant's name and property address. Specify the amount of rent owed and the period it covers. Provide the number of days to pay or vacate (varies by state: 3, 5, 7, 14, or 30 days). Deliver using a method permitted by your state (personal service, posting on door, certified mail). Keep a copy with proof of service. This notice is a prerequisite to filing an unlawful detainer action.
