Create formal eviction notices for non-payment, lease violations, or end of tenancy with proper legal language and required elements for landlords and property managers
You are an experienced property management legal assistant who helps landlords draft formal eviction notices. You understand the critical importance of proper documentation in the eviction process and the serious legal consequences of improperly served notices. IMPORTANT LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Eviction laws vary significantly by state, county, and city. Notice periods range from 3 to 30 days depending on jurisdiction and violation type. Some localities have rent control ordinances, just cause eviction requirements, or tenant protection laws that impose additional requirements. This template is a starting point only and must be reviewed by a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before service. Serving an improper notice can delay eviction proceedings by weeks or months and may expose you to liability. I need to create a formal eviction notice with the following details. The type of notice I need is [NOTICE_TYPE:select:pay-or-quit,cure-or-quit,unconditional-quit,end-of-lease]. The property is located in [STATE] and I am providing [DAYS_TO_COMPLY] days for the tenant to respond or vacate. The tenant's full legal name is [TENANT_NAME] and the rental property address is [PROPERTY_ADDRESS]. My information as the landlord or property manager is as follows: name is [LANDLORD_NAME], mailing address is [LANDLORD_ADDRESS], phone number is [LANDLORD_PHONE], and email is [LANDLORD_EMAIL]. The lease or rental agreement began on [LEASE_START_DATE]. The reason for this notice is: [VIOLATION_DETAILS] For non-payment notices, the total amount owed is [AMOUNT_OWED?] and payment can be made by [PAYMENT_INSTRUCTIONS?]. For lease violation notices, the specific lease provision violated is [LEASE_PROVISION?] and the tenant can cure this violation by [CURE_INSTRUCTIONS?]. I am serving this notice on [SERVICE_DATE] using [SERVICE_METHOD:select:personal-delivery,posting-and-mailing,certified-mail,substitute-service]. Generate a formal eviction notice that includes all of the following sections: First, a header with the document title clearly stating the type of notice, the property address, and the date. Second, a formal salutation addressing the tenant by their full legal name and identifying all occupants if known. Third, a statement of tenancy identifying the property address, the date the tenancy began, and the current rental amount if applicable. Fourth, the specific grounds for the notice with detailed description of the violation or reason, including dates, amounts, or specific incidents as provided. Fifth, the demand section stating exactly what the tenant must do and by what date, calculated from the service date plus the required notice period. Sixth, the consequences section explaining that failure to comply will result in the landlord pursuing legal eviction proceedings and that this may affect the tenant's rental history and credit. Seventh, a statement of tenant rights noting that the tenant may have legal rights including the right to contest the eviction in court and should consult with a tenant rights organization or attorney. Eighth, landlord contact information with all methods to reach the landlord for questions or to arrange compliance. Ninth, a signature block with space for the landlord's signature, printed name, and date. Tenth, a certificate of service section documenting how and when the notice was delivered. Format the notice professionally with clear section headers. Use formal legal language appropriate for court submission. Include blank signature lines formatted with underscores. End with a reminder that this document should be reviewed by an attorney before service.

Get Early AccessThe eviction notice is one of the most critical documents in property management. Getting the format wrong or missing required elements can delay court proceedings by weeks and expose landlords to liability. Every state sets its own rules for notice periods, required language, and service methods. A 3-day pay-or-quit notice in California looks different from a 30-day notice in Ohio.
This generator creates formal eviction notices for four common scenarios: non-payment of rent, lease violations requiring cure, unconditional quit situations, and end-of-lease terminations. You specify your [NOTICE_TYPE], [STATE], and [DAYS_TO_COMPLY] to get a notice tailored to your situation. The output includes all ten sections courts expect to see, from the formal header through the certificate of service.
The prompt handles both sides of the notice. Landlord details ([LANDLORD_NAME], [LANDLORD_ADDRESS], contact info) and tenant details ([TENANT_NAME], [PROPERTY_ADDRESS]) populate the correct locations. For non-payment cases, it incorporates [AMOUNT_OWED] and [PAYMENT_INSTRUCTIONS]. For lease violations, it references the specific [LEASE_PROVISION] and [CURE_INSTRUCTIONS].
If you need a lease agreement before dealing with violations, or a rental agreement for month-to-month tenancies, those generators handle the front end of the landlord-tenant relationship. Dock Editor helps you draft, review, and finalize your eviction notice with AI-powered writing assistance.
Select your [NOTICE_TYPE] and enter your [STATE] along with the number of [DAYS_TO_COMPLY] based on your state's requirements for that notice type.
Fill in the tenant details ([TENANT_NAME], [PROPERTY_ADDRESS]) and your landlord information ([LANDLORD_NAME], [LANDLORD_ADDRESS], phone, and email).
Describe the [VIOLATION_DETAILS] and, for non-payment cases, specify the [AMOUNT_OWED] and [PAYMENT_INSTRUCTIONS]. For lease violations, reference the specific [LEASE_PROVISION].
Choose your [SERVICE_METHOD] and enter the [SERVICE_DATE]. Review the generated notice with a local attorney before serving it to the tenant.
Non-payment of rent — Landlord issues a pay-or-quit notice when a tenant falls behind on rent, specifying the total amount owed and acceptable payment methods.
Lease violation — Property manager sends a cure-or-quit notice for unauthorized occupants, pets, or property damage, giving the tenant time to fix the issue.
End-of-lease termination — Landlord provides formal notice that a fixed-term lease will not be renewed, giving the tenant the required notice period to vacate.
Month-to-month tenancy termination — Property owner ends a month-to-month rental arrangement by providing the state-required notice period before the next rent due date.
