What is an Eviction Notice?

An Eviction Notice is a letter that a landlord sends to a tenant as a warning that their lease is or may be coming to an end. In some cases, the Eviction Notice may give the tenant the chance to fix a problem before the landlord proceeds with eviction. Otherwise, the notice informs the tenant why they’re being evicted and when they must vacate the property.

How many lease violations should landlords tolerate before evicting a tenant?
If a landlord sends two or more Notices of Lease Violations, it’s possible they could start taking steps to evict the tenant. However, the options available to the landlord will vary depending on their jurisdiction’s laws, the nature of the violations, and the terms of the lease. For example, the landlord should consider the length of the lease remaining against the seriousness of the conduct. A tenant that repeatedly pays rent late is irritating, but it may not be worth the trouble of evicting them if there are only two months left on the lease. If the tenant has a history of non-compliance, the landlord can apply to their local landlord and tenant authority for help resolving the issue, which may include establishing an unlawful detainer (i.e., an eviction lawsuit).

How do I serve an Eviction Notice?
In most states, landlords may deliver an Eviction Notice by hand, through the mail with proof of service, or through an electronic communication like email (if the tenant agreed in writing to receive notices this way). If you deliver the notice in person, having an objective third party witness the event is beneficial if the tenant ever denies getting the document. If you mail the notice, sending it through a registered post service provides proof of delivery and receipt (often with a signature upon delivery and online tracking). However, depending on your jurisdiction, you may need to give your notice form to the police or another authorized third party. As such, it’s important to consult your local landlord and tenant authority before proceeding with eviction.
