Writing an eviction notice is not a tricky task and is something you can create yourself at home. Nevertheless, this form of legal document must be completed correctly, otherwise, a tenant could successfully sue against the eviction in court.
Using LawDistrict’s online template you can easily write your own eviction notice from home without a lawyer.
However, if you intend to evict a tenant in a rental control unit or a government-subsidized property (such as Section 8 properties) you will need to follow specific rules in order to perform a successful eviction. This may require the assistance or advice of a real estate lawyer.
An eviction notice or notice to quit must contain the following information for it to be legally valid:
The name(s) of the tenant(s) written on the rental agreement
The date the rental agreement was signed (if it appears on the agreement)
The address of the property being occupied
A clear and legitimate reason for the notice to evict (this should be written in the rental agreement itself)
Specific details on the breach of the lease in question (dates and timeframes)
What steps (if any) the resident must take to avoid eviction
The date by which the situation must be rectified or the property vacated
The landlord’s contact information
The date that the notice has been issued
