How Much Notice Must Landlord Give Tenant Piror To Eviction
|
Eviction notice is described as the termination of tenancy notice given by the landlord to his/her tenants saying that the landlord wishes to end the landlord/tenant relationship and that the tenant should vacate the house within a stipulated period of time.

In the US, eviction notices vary from state to state. In general, there are three different types of eviction notices that include pay rent or quit notices, cure or quit notices and unconditional quit notices.
In case of pay rent or quit notices, the tenant is directed to pay the rent amount within certain time period or else vacate the home. These types of notices are issued when the tenant abstains from paying rent. In case of cure or quit notices, the tenant is directed to change his behavior or else quit. These notices are issued when the tenant violates the lease agreement. In case of unconditional quit notices, the landlord does not have any valid reason but still asks the tenant to leave.
An eviction notice is a legal document that should be sent by certified mail and served personally to the tenant. In most of the states, a landlord should provide the tenant a minimum period of 30 days to vacate the home if the tenant pays the rent on a monthly basis. However, this can also vary. For example, in Washington State, the minimum period of eviction is 20 days. After the fixed term has expired and the tenancy becomes a continuing agreement and the landlord can obtain vacant possession by providing another 60 days notice. Notice period begins at the start of the next rent period. Hence, the eviction notice should be served to the tenant before that. If the tenant pays the rent on a weekly basis, the minimum period of notice is 7 days.
Even a tenant can serve an eviction notice prior to the expiry date of lease agreement in case if the landlord violates any of the terms in the agreement. In this case, tenant can give a legal notice of 14 days to vacate the apartment.
