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. Eviction Grid Sheet for Selecting Tenancy Termination Notice - This is a guide for determining the proper notice a landlord must provide to the tenant prior to terminating a tenancy or bringing an eviction action. It covers all types of leases/rental agreements and various causes for termination. 5 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminates - Month-to-Month Lease – 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. 5 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminates - Year-to-Year Lease – 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.

"Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. The form identifies the specific breach and directs the tenant to remedy the breach within 5 days. The tenant is informed that his failure to remedy the breach before the deadline may result in landlord terminating the lease. 14 Day Notice to Terminate Month to Month Lease for Breach Other Than Nonpayment of Rent if Failure to Cure – Residential - This form is used by a landlord to terminate a residential month-to-month lease due to the tenant's breach of the lease agreement, for a breach other than non-payment of rent. "Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. "Month-to-Month Lease" is a periodic lease that continues from month to month until either the landlord or tenant decides to terminate, or it is terminated for cause (as in the case of a breach of the lease). The form identifies the specific breach and directs the tenant to vacate the premises within 14 days of receipt of the notice. No chance for the tenant to cure (repair) the breach is required by state law, but the landlord may elect to allow tenant a chance to cure by indicating so in the check-box provided in the form. 14 Day Notice to Terminate Year to Year Lease for Default in Payment of Rent for Second Time in One Year – Residential - This form is used by a landlord to terminate a residential year-to-year lease due to the tenant's second failure to pay rent in the past 12 months. "Residential" includes a house, apartment or condo. The tenant is not allowed to pay the rent after service of this notice, but rather must vacate the premises within 14 days. (The landlord may always accept a tender of payment and agree not to terminate the tenant, in which case the lease is reinstated- but the landlord does not have to accept this payment if tendered, and can insist on the tenant's eviction.) 28 Day Notice to Terminate Month to Month Lease - No Right to Cure – Residential - This 28 Day Notice to Terminate Month to Month Lease - No Right to Cure form is for use by a landlord to terminate a month-to-month residential lease.
