This package contains the notices required by state law to be provided to a tenant before an eviction complaint is filed in court. The package contains a variety of notices, so that a landlord may select the one required under the circumstances involved and applicable statutory requirements. The following forms are included:
5 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminates ?ˆ“ Residential - This form is used by a landlord to demand payment of overdue rent from a residential tenant within 5 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 5 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.
10 day Notice of Material Noncompliance with Lease or Rental Agreement - Residential - 10 days to Cure - This form is used by the landlord to notify a residential tenant of a breach of the lease due to material non-compliance with the lease provisions. "Residential" includes a house, apartment, or condo. The specific material non-compliance is identified, and the tenant is given 10 days to cure the breach or suffer termination.
14 Day Notice of Default for Failure to Maintain Premises - Residential - Landlord to Tenant - 14 Days to Cure - This form is used by the landlord to terminate a residential lease due to notice of termination. "Residential" includes a house, apartment, or condo. The reason for termination is identified, and the tenant is given no chance to cure the breach. In this situation, either the tenant has already failed to cure, or the breach is such that cure is not possible. The tenant is given 14 days to vacate the premises.

This notice must be served on the tenant at least 30 days prior to the date indicated in the notice for termination.
