Notice to Quit<\/strong> - What is it?<\/h2>\n

Notice to Quit<\/strong> - Why is it important?<\/h2>\n

You can use the notice to quit form to end your Residential Lease if the tenant has failed to pay rent. The Notice to Quit Form should not be confused with the \"Writ of Possession\" (read more about eviction notice) which is issued by the courts. The Notice to Quit Form is the beginning of the eviction process<\/strong>, and it communicates the intention to initiate eviction proceedings if a tenant does not comply with an order and remains on the premises beyond the specified date. If the tenant does not comply with the notice (for example they must pay rent or quit the lease and vacate the premises), you may be forced to take legal action to have the tenant removed from the property. If the notice has been ignored by the tenant and the move out date in the notice has passed, you have grounds to bring forth a lawsuit for \"unlawful detainer\", in which case the tenant has the option to fight the eviction in court.<\/p>\n
