Every eviction begins with a notice to the tenant that either demands rent from them, or tells them what violation of the lease has occurred. Usually, these notices give the tenant an opportunity to cure the default before the eviction is allowed to proceed. Different types of notices are used for different types of defaults, and they must include very specific language. We recommend that you consult with an attorney to ensure that this pivotal first step, and the rest of the eviction process, is done correctly.
