This package contains the essential state-specific forms a landlord needs to evict a tenant. If you need to get rid of an unwanted tenant, this money-saving package ensures that you follow the rules of your state. Included in this package are the following forms:
5 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminates – 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.
Notice to Terminate Month to Month Lease - 30 Day Period to End of Term – Residential - This form is used by a landlord to terminate a residential month-to-month lease by giving the tenant a 30 day notice of termination at least 30 days prior to the end of any month. A month-to-month lease is one which continues from month to month until the landlord or tenant decides to terminate the lease. The landlord need not have any reason to terminate the lease other than a desire to do so. "Residential" indicates houses, apartments, or condos.

30 Day Notice of Termination for Intentional Recurring Breach – Residential - This form is used by a landlord to give 30 day notice of termination of the residential lease due to the tenant's intentional act resulting in a recurring breach (one for which the tenant has already cured on a previous occasion of breach). "Residential" indicates houses, apartments, or condos. The tenant is not allowed a chance to cure, and must vacate the premises within the 30 day notice period.
60 Day Notice to Terminate Year-to-Year Lease - Residential from Landlord to Tenant - This form is for use by a landlord to terminate a year-to-year residential lease.

Unless a written agreement provides for a longer notice period, 60 days notice is required prior to termination in this state. The notice must be given to the tenant within at least 60 days of the end of the current lease year.
