Tenant Eviction Notice
A tenant eviction notice is also sometimes referred to as a モnotice to quitヤ or a モnotice to vacate.ヤ After receiving an eviction notice, the tenant will then have a set amount of time to correct the problem. The amount of time a tenant has to correct a lease violation or otherwise comply with lease terms to avoid a court summons varies by state; a tenant may have three days or sometimes more to comply. If the eviction notice is served due to nonpayment of rent, the tenant can settle the matter and avoid eviction by paying the full amount of unpaid rent. Though eviction laws vary, a landlord usually must have a just cause to serve an eviction notice. In some jurisdictions, landlords are permitted to serve eviction notices without allowing the tenant a chance to correct the problem. This is called an モunconditional quit notice.ヤ
