How to Send Notice (4 steps)

1. Write a Notice to Quit
2. Speak with the Tenant
3. Send/Deliver the Notice
4. Wait for Payment

1. Write a Notice to Quit

Write a notice to quit and include the following information:

• Date of Notice
• Tenant(s) Name(s)
• Property Address
• Lease Start Date
• Notice of Non-Payment
  • Past Rent
  • Late Fees
  • Other Fees
  • Payment Instructions
• Landlord’s Signature

2. Speak with the Tenant

Before sending the notice to quit, it is best to contact the tenant to hear why they are late paying rent. If paying by check, maybe it was mailed late or there are other issues.

No matter the reason for late rent, it is always recommended to contact the tenant on a personal level to get their side of the story.

3. Send / Deliver the Notice

Depending on the landlord’s preference, the notice may be delivered in-person or mailed to the tenant. If mailed, the landlord should send by certified mail with a return receipt to have proof the tenant received the notice.

4. Wait for Payment

After receiving the notice, the tenant will have the bbin电竞官网官方永久 required notice-period to pay the landlord. If the tenant does not pay, they will have the option to vacate the property to avoid eviction.

If the tenant does not pay or vacate the property within the notice period, the landlord will have to seek an eviction from the local housing court.

I. Date Of Pay Or Quit Notice

(1) Calendar Date On Record. The calendar date when the Landlord wishes this notice to be a formal communication with the targeted Tenant must be established. This date is commonly the signature date but may also be after the signature date. Supply this requested calendar date to the beginning of this document.

II Target Of Notice

(2) Tenant Identity.  The Tenant(s) being informed that he or she (or they) must submit an overdue rent amount or release the premises must be properly named. Locate the Tenant’s name in the lease then furnish the name of every Tenant who must receive this notice to the initial statement of this notice. An area has been reserved for this presentation just before the word “(“Tenant”).”

(3) Property Address. The address of the property currently being rented to the Tenant(s) must be included to direct this notice appropriately. Report the physical address of the rented “Premises” as the “Property Address” of concern where this information is requested.

(4) Lease Start Date. The calendar date named as the first effective date for the conditions and terms of the lease being documented must be presented as the “Lease Start Date.” Bear in mind that this date must be formally named in the lease as the first date of its effect on the Landlord and Tenant(s).

III Notice Of Non-Payment

(5) Payment Deadline. Naturally, since this notice makes a demand upon the Tenant(s), the instructions the Landlord requires followed must therefore be communicated through this paperwork. Locate the space following “Within…” then, dispense the maximum number of days from the estimated date of the Tenant’s receipt of this notice that will be given to the Tenant(s) to submit payment on time. Bear in mind that it is imperative that the maximum number of days given to the Tenant from the receipt of this notice until he or she provides the delinquent rent payments and (if applicable) unpaid fees or to release the premises to the Landlord must remain compliant with the bbin电竞官网官方永久 laws governing the lease. The bbin电竞官网官方永久 laws that should be of concern can be found in the lease that was violated by the Tenant’s nonpayment.

(6) Past Rent. If this notice makes a demand for nonpayment of “Past Rent,” then place a mark in the first checkbox statement on this subject.

(7) Past Rent Demand. The amount of rent money left unpaid thus far by the Tenant(s) that must now be paid should be documented on the first blank line in the “Past Rent” statement and the time period this money is owed for should be recorded. This can be submitted as a date range by naming the first date of the unpaid period and the last date of this period or can be listed as each individual month and year when rent was unpaid.

(8) Late Fees. The Landlord may have imposed a late fee to be paid by the Tenant as a result of being delinquent with the required payment(s). If so, then the “Late Fees” checkbox must be selected.

(9) Late Fee Information.  If a late fee has been imposed, then the amount of money that must be paid for this fee and any “Details” that define this fee should be produced on the two blank lines (respectively)  provided in this option. For instance, each missed payment date that caused a late fee to be charged can be presented as the source of the fee as well as a reproduction of the lease conditions calling for this fee to be imposed.

(10) Other Fees. If any “Other Fees” have been left unpaid or any amount of money will be required to satisfy a penalty then place a mark in the third checkbox. This option must be supported with the dollar amount the Landlord requires for these “Other Fees” and a description of what these fees are.

(11) Total Amount Due. Review the previously selected unpaid amounts, then add the owed rent amount and the fee amount(s) presented above to a single sum. Record this sum as the “Total Amount Due” by the Tenant.

(12) Payment Instructions. This notice should also inform the Tenant of exactly how the overdue rent payment(s) and fees must be received by the Landlord. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the manner of payment (such as by check, certified check, or wire transfer) should be defined, the mailing address, physical address, or web portal address where payment should be submitted is reported, and the name of the Party who the payment should be directed to (i.e. the Landlord, Owner of the Premesis, or Property Management Company) is presented.

IV Proof Of Landlord Intent

(13) Landlord Signature. The signature of the Landlord issuing this demand to correct nonpayment should be submitted once the information above has been produced and verified as accurate. If a Property Management Company or similar Business Entity is issuing this notice, then its officially designated Signature Representative may sign the Landlord’s signature line.

(14) Date Of Landlord Signature . After he or she has signed this document, the Landlord (or Signature Party) must display the current date.

(15) Landlord’s Printed Name And Address. The full name and address of the Landlord (or Signature Party) will require presentation when he or she signs this document. Two areas have been provided for this purpose.
