The Eviction Notice is general
term that is used to describe the letter or form sent to a tenant from the
landlord or court where the Eviction Action was filed. The
notice may be referred to as a NOTICE TO VACATE or NOTICE TO QUIT or a
variation of. In some states, this must be delivered to the tenant
prior to the start of a court action. In other states, the landlord can file
with the local landlord court or civil court to begin the EVICTION PROCESS. LANDLORDS
MUST FOLLOW THE EXACT RULES OF THEIR STATE and LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO EVICT A
TENANT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE A DELAY IN THE EVICTION PROCEEDING.
The key term used in most state Eviction Laws
is PROPER NOTICE. Laws vary by state and type of notice required. In
some states, the court delivers the actual summons via certified mail, regular
mail or is personally delivered by a court officer with the responsibility
of delivering summons.
