After a tenant has misbehaved or gone against the lease
agreement, there are three types of eviction notices that they
can be served by the landlord. The terminology for these
notices vary from state to state.
1. The Pay Rent or Quit Notices; mostly used
when the tenant has failed to pay rent. In most
cases the tenant is given three to five days to
pay the rent or move out of the rented
property.
2. The Cure or Quit Notices; these are normally
issued by the landlord when the tenant has
broken a term or condition specified by the
lease agreement. The tenant will then be given
a grace period to reform or stop violating the
condition or term failure to which they might
be forced to move out or face an eviction
lawsuit which can be filed by the landlord.
3. Unconditional Quit Notices; this happen to be
the harshest eviction notices, the tenant is
forcefully evicted and no chance for payment
of rent is allowed, neither is the correction of a
violation of the term or condition as specified
by the lease agreement. They are not allowed
to be used in most states unless the tenant
has breached some terms or conditions. An
eviction notice would be issued in
this category if the tenant has repeatedly
breached a certain rental agreement clause,
been late on payment of rent for more than one
instance, caused some serious damage on the
rented property or engaged in serious drug
dealing on the rented premises.
Notice for termination without cause
In other instances a landlord may choose to evict a tenant who
has been compliant with the lease agreement. In these
instances they use the 30-day Notice to Vacate or a 60-day
Notice to Vacate. Most cities don’t allow the use of these
unless there is a legal reason behind undertaking such an
action.
This site provides an easy and convenient way of generating
eviction notice forms. This is through the use of an eviction
notice template which makes the whole exercise easier.
The following main components of an eviction notice will be
captured in our eviction notice template;

the tenant
2. The specification of the stage of the eviction process
3. The date on which the eviction notice is effective from
4. The date by which the eviction agreement must be
signed
5. A provision of the terms by which the service is

The eviction notice templates will depend on the type of notice
as broken down in the earlier sections. The title may vary but
the main components are captured in each eviction notice form.
Eviction notices are used by landlords who want to terminate
the tenancy of those occupying their property. They are also
used by those who own or manage rental property to warn
tenants who violate a term or clause in the rental agreement.
An Eviction Notice can also be known as a Notice to Vacate
Letter, a Notice to Quit, an Eviction Notice Letter, a Rental
Eviction Notice or alternatively a Notice to Vacate (the)
Premises. They are a precursor to filing an eviction lawsuit, this
being determined by the response of the tenant.
