Violation Forms

There are three types of notices a landlord uses when a tenant is in violation of the lease agreement.

1. The first, for non-payment of rent is “Pay Rent or Quit” notice or referred to as a Three Day Notice. Typically, giving the tenant three days to pay the required rent including any and all late fees stated in the lease or to vacate the property. If the rent is not paid according to your lease agreement eviction proceedings can then be initiated. Landlords cannot collect rent or any part of monies owed and evict at the same time.

2. The “Cure or Quit” notice informs the tenant they are in violation and specifically what the violation is and where it is stated in the lease agreement. Correction is typically required to be completed within five to thirty days. This notice, for example, can apply to maintaining the yard or cleaning an eyesore at the property. Landlords or their property manager, also if stated in the lease, may have the violation corrected at the tenants expense. This process must be clearly stated in the lease otherwise, enforcing such payment may be difficult to enforce.

3. An “Unconditional Quit” notice is used when tenants have no opportunity to make amends at any level. They are required to vacate the property or you can at that time begin eviction proceedings. This notice can be given at anytime during the lease term.

Posting these types of notices can at times be stressful if not uncomfortable. Hiring a process server to hand deliver and post the required notices can be helpful in ensuring legal and proper service has been accomplished.
