Description Landlord Tenant Forms

This package contains the essential state-specific forms a landlord needs to evict a tenant. If you need to get rid of an unwanted tenant, this money-saving package ensures that you follow the rules of your state. Included in this package are the following forms:

14 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminated for Residential Property - This form is used by a landlord to demand payment of overdue rent from a residential tenant within 14 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 14 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.

14 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Lease Terminated for Nonresidential or Commercial Property - This form is used by a landlord to demand payment of overdue rent from a non-residential tenant within 14 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). "Non-Residential" includes commercial, industrial, etc. property. If the tenant fails to pay within 14 days, the lease may be considered terminated by the landlord.

31 Day Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Lease from Landlord to Tenant - This form is for use by a landlord to terminate a month-to-month 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 month-to-month lease is one which continues from month-to-month unless either party chooses to terminate. Unless a written agreement provides for a longer notice, 31 days notice is required prior to termination in this state. The notice must be given to the tenant within at least 31 days prior to the termination date. The form indicates that the landlord has chosen to terminate the lease, and states the deadline date by which the tenant must vacate the premises.

Affidavit Under Summary Process Rule 10D - This affidavit is filed by a landlord as part of the summary process eviction procedures

Summary Process Summons and Complaint - This form is the complaint used by a landlord to initiate the eviction process in court.

Civil Contempt Summons - Summary Process Action - This is filed along with the complaint for summary process to inform the tenant that he/she needs to file an answer to the eviction action.

Motion for Issuance of Execution - This form is used by a landlord after winning an eviction case to ask the court to order the sheriff to remove the tenant from the premises.
