Description

This form is used by a Landlord to demand payment of overdue rent from a residential tenant within 14 days from giving the Notice, in accordance with the laws of your state. (Note: If a written agreement provides for a longer notice, use the notice length stated in the agreement). "Residential" includes a house, apartment, or condo. If the Tenant fails to pay within 14 days, the lease may be considered terminated by the Landlord. The Tenant is informed that the Tenant must either pay the rent or suffer possible termination. If he does not pay, the Landlord may begin eviction proceedings. If the Landlord does not elect to proceed with termination or eviction, but instead agrees to accept rent after the termination date stated in the Notice, the lease is generally reinstated.

FAQ

Tenants without Leases.Until individual cities or the state changes the law, no fault evictions, where a landlord is evicting a tenant who has done nothing wrong, are lawful in Massachusetts. A landlord may also evict tenants without leases for non-payment of rent and for using the apartment for illegal purposes.

Dear (Name of landlord or manager), This letter constitutes my written (number of days' notice that you need to give based on your lease agreement)-day notice that I will be moving out of my apartment on (date), the end of my current lease. I am leaving because (new job, rent increase, etc.)

Tenant Rights to Withhold Rent in MassachusettsTenants may withhold rent or exercise the right to repair and deduct if a landlord fails to take care of important repairs, such as a broken heater. For specifics, see Massachusetts Tenant Rights to Withhold Rent or Repair and Deduct.

The law requires tenants at will to give landlords written notice that they are moving out at least one full rental period or 30 days (whichever is longer) before moving.

The above are some of the many factors that help answer how long an eviction in Massachusetts take. Generally, an uncontested eviction will take between one to two months. A contested eviction, with requests for discovery and a jury trial, can take anywhere from three to six months.

Like all other evictions, the landlord must issue a notice to quit to the tenant stating the specifics of the offenses. If the tenant has a standard form lease, the notice to quit will typically be a 7 day notice. For tenants without a written lease, it's a gray area, but I would use a 30 day notice.

In Colorado, evictions are sometimes referred to as forcible entry & detainer (FED). Before you can file for eviction, you must generally provide 10 days' notice (increased from 3 days prior) for tenants to correct a deficiency or leave the property, except in certain circumstances.

Dear (Name of landlord or manager), This letter constitutes my written (number of days' notice that you need to give based on your lease agreement)-day notice that I will be moving out of my apartment on (date), the end of my current lease. I am leaving because (new job, rent increase, etc.)

A 14-day notice to quit means your tenancy is terminated 14 days after you get the notice. This is the first step in an eviction. If you have a lease, any clause in the lease saying that the landlord can end your tenancy for non-payment of rent without giving you a 14-day notice is illegal.
