II. DESCRIPTIONS OF FORMS

Brief descriptions of the forms contained in your U.S. Legal Forms™ Landlord Tenant Eviction / Unlawful Detainer Forms Package are found below.

5 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminates – Residential

This form is used by a landlord to demand payment of overdue rent from a residential tenant within 5 days from giving the notice, in accordance with the laws of your state. (Note: If a written agreement provides for a longer notice, use the notice length stated in the agreement). "Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. If the tenant fails to pay within 5 days, the lease may be considered terminated by the landlord. The tenant is informed that the tenant must either pay the rent or suffer possible termination. If he does not pay, the landlord may begin eviction proceedings. If the landlord does not elect to proceed with termination or eviction, but instead agrees to accept rent after the termination date stated in the notice, the lease is generally reinstated.

Notice to Terminate Month to Month Lease - 30 Day Period to End of Term – Residential

This form is used by a landlord to terminate a residential month-to-month lease by giving the tenant a 30 day notice of termination at least 30 days prior to the end of any month. A month-to-month lease is one which continues from month to month until the landlord or tenant decides to terminate the lease. The landlord need not have any reason to terminate the lease other than a desire to do so. "Residential" indicates houses, apartments, or condos.

30 Day Notice to Terminate Lease Due to Non-Remediable Breach – Residential

This form is used by a Landlord to terminate any residential lease due to a non-remediable (cannot be repaired) breach by the tenant. This 30 day notice of termination is given at least 30 days prior to the termination date. "Residential" indicates houses, apartments or condos. The tenant must vacate the premises by the termination date, provided that the notice was served at least 30 days before that date.

30 Day Notice of Termination for Intentional Recurring Breach – Residential

This form is used by a landlord to give 30 day notice of termination of the residential lease due to the tenant's intentional act resulting in a recurring breach (one for which the tenant has already cured on a previous occasion of breach). "Residential" indicates houses, apartments, or condos. The tenant is not allowed a chance to cure, and must vacate the premises within the 30 day notice period.

60 Day Notice to Terminate Year-to-Year Lease - Residential from Landlord to Tenant

This form is for use by a landlord to terminate a year-to-year residential lease. Unless a written agreement provides otherwise, the landlord does not have to have a reason for terminating the lease in this manner, other than a desire to end the lease. A year-to-year lease is one which continues from year-to-year, unless either party chooses to terminate. Unless a written agreement provides for a longer notice period, 60 days notice is required prior to termination in this state. The notice must be given to the tenant within at least 60 days of the end of the current lease year. The form indicates that landlord has chosen to terminate the lease, and states the deadline date (which is the end of the yearly term) by which the tenant must vacate the premises.

Notice to Terminate Year to Year Lease - 90 Day Period to End of Term – Residential

This form is used by a landlord to terminate a residential year-to-year lease by giving the tenant a 90 day notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the end of the current lease-year. A year-to-year lease is one which continues from year to year until the landlord or tenant decides to terminate the lease. The landlord need not have any reason to terminate the lease, other than a desire to do so. "Residential" indicates houses, apartments, or condos. The tenant must vacate the premises at the end of the current lease-year, provided that the notice was served at least 90 days before the end of the lease-year.

IV. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS

The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand.

It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible.

By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner.
