Frequently asked questions

How long does the tenant have to pay?

It depends on your state's statute — some count calendar days, others exclude weekends and holidays. The notice states your state's specific rule and counting method.

Does sending this notice start an eviction?

No — it's the required first step. If the tenant doesn't pay or vacate within the notice period, you'd then need to file for eviction through your local court, separately.
