notice to the tenant specifying the acts and omissions constituting the
breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less

and his intention to terminate the rental agreement if the rent is not
paid within that period, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement.

recover damages and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the
tenant with the rental agreement or KRS 383.605 or 383.610. If the tenant's
noncompliance is willful the landlord may recover actual damages and reasonable
attorney's fees. Chap. 383, §383.660 Effective: July 13, 1984
