About eviction notices

An eviction notice starts the formal process; only a court can actually remove a tenant. The notice type and deadline depend on your state and the reason — nonpayment, lease violation, or end of term. Serve it correctly and keep proof of delivery, because a defective notice can void the later filing.

How it works

Pick the notice type — pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, or unconditional quit — enter the landlord and tenant, the property, the reason, and the cure or notice period your state requires. Click Download PDF and the notice is assembled on your device. Keep a copy and proof of how it was delivered (certified mail, process server, or the method your state allows).

A notice is only the first step. Actual eviction still requires a court order, and self-help evictions — changing the locks or removing belongings — are illegal in every state. Use the generated notice as the documented start of a lawful process.

Choosing a notice type

Pay or quit: For nonpayment of rent. The tenant must pay the owed amount or vacate within the state's notice period.
Cure or quit: For a lease violation the tenant can fix (for example, an unauthorized pet). The tenant may cure the violation or leave.
Unconditional quit: For serious or repeat breaches where the law allows no chance to cure. States limit when this applies.

FAQ

Is an eviction notice legally binding by itself?

No. Filing and serving the notice are only the first step; actual eviction requires a court order. This is a template, not legal advice.

What period does my state require?

It varies by state and reason. Enter your state so the generator shows the period, then confirm it against the current statute.

Can a tenant fix the problem instead of leaving?

For a cure-or-quit notice, yes — the tenant may correct the violation within the notice period. For pay-or-quit, paying the rent owed usually stops the process if done in time.
