Landlord Notice Forms - Notice Section 21

In a commercial lease or rental agreement, the renter's rights and the notice the landlord must give the tenant is primarily governed by the terms of the rental agreement. The lease notice terms will govern the tenant notice required by property management when the tenant violates the lease through a failure to pay rent or when the tenant has otherwise violated the lease. Initiating court eviction proceedings isn't bound by the 30 days notice or 3 day notice to vacate, etc. mandated under residential landlord tenant laws. However, if the landlord fails to give the tenant any notice of non-payment of rent or notice to vacate that may be required by the lease, the landlord is in breach of contract and lack of notice may be used a defense to eviction.

Types of Notices Needed Notice To Increase Rent Form

Notice is required by renter rights when there is a lease violation, such as when the tenant is behind in rent and it is desired by property management that they vacate the premises. USLegalforms offers numerous types of landlord to tenant notices. The precise type of form you need will depend on the notice requirements of your state, as landlord tenant notice requirements vary by state. In the case where the tenant didn't pay the rent, it's the landlord's choice whether or not to offer the choice to either pay the late rent and whatever other charges are due or move out. USLegalforms offers state-specific tenant forms that are used to notify of a tenant's lease violation such as being behind on rent, or other lease violations.

How to Serve a Notice to a Tenant Rent Increase Letter

The landlord can deliver notice forms, such as a three day notice or notice to vacate form, to the tenant, or to a tenant's family member who's old enough to understand the content of the notice. The landlord may also deliver the notice by registered or certified mail, to the former tenant at the tenant's last known address, especially if the tenant has already moved out.

The methods for delivering notice forms above are the most common, however, other methods to give the tenant notice exist, such as:

• leaving the notice with a person of sufficient age apparently in charge of the rental unit, and also send a copy by regular or other mail to the last known address of the tenant;
• use the local procedure for serving legal papers, such as a process server, to serve eviction notice forms and other landlord tenant forms; or
• if the landlord cannot locate the tenant to give the notice to the tenant personally or deliver the landlord tenant form to a competent person with apparent authority to occupy the rental unit, he or she may attach the notice in a noticeable place on the leased property, and mail a copy by regular or other mail to the last known address of the tenant.

When to Serve a Notice to Tenant Notice Section 8

A notice is used when appropriate, and can begin with a move-in inspection or disclosure notice, and end with a notice of abandoned property after the renter has moved out, with notices to the tenant at all stages in between, such as receipts for security deposits, required disclosures, notice of entry and inspection, notice of non-payment of rent or notice that the tenant has violated the lease, such as a violation of the number of people or pets allowed under the lease terms.

There are various ways during the course of a residential lease that lease violations requiring written notice may occur. A tenant has a duty to maintain the premises and must obey the state and local health and safety code regulations. If the tenant commits any intentional or negligent damage, defacement, or removal of any part of the premises, the tenant has violated the lease and may be given an eviction notice. The tenant may have violated the lease agreement by creating unsafe conditions in the rental unit and/or common area. A tenant who allows garbage and other wastes to accumulate instead of disposing of trash properly may be found to have violated the lease. Similarly, a tenant who has abused plumbing, electrical, heating, and other amenities and appliances on the rental property may be found guilty of a lease violation. Therefore, a written notice should be sent to correct the condition or be subject to eviction.

Notices do not have to state the date on which the tenancy will end. The only requirement is that the notice states the termination date will be after a certain number of days. The landlord may opt to give more days than required by law.
