Notice periods in every state, on one page

The numbers every landlord searches for one state at a time. Pick your state and the generator fills itself in.

!
Check that the state above is yours. Every state sets its own notice period, and the preview below changes the instant you pick one — the document header always names the state and cites the statute it was written from.

Grounds

An unconditional notice offers no chance to fix the problem, and is only available for conduct that cannot be cured — nuisance, waste, illegal activity, or a repeat of a breach already cured. If the tenant could fix it, use Cure or Quit instead.
4

Ending the tenancy

This is a no-cause termination. Many cities require just cause, and some require relocation assistance. Verify locally before serving.

Where to send your notice

We email the finished notice here as soon as it is paid for, so you still have it if you close this page. Paying by card collects it automatically — this is only needed if you pay another way.

Every state, every notice type

21 states are hand-verified against the statute, including service-by-mail extensions and business-day counting where the state requires it. The rest are available with statutory defaults you can edit, and are marked verify.

Questions landlords ask at 11pm

Is this legal advice?
No. RentDemand is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It assembles a self-help document from the statute shown on the notice and computes your deadline. For anything contested, hire a lawyer in your state — the notice you generate here is the document you hand them.
How is this different from a free template?
A free template gives you the same paragraph in every state with blank day counts. RentDemand knows that a Florida pay-or-quit skips weekends and holidays, that Virginia gives 21 days to cure but only 5 to pay, that North Carolina terminates a month-to-month tenancy in 7 days, and that Georgia has no cure period at all. It also computes the actual date the period ends.
What if my lease sets a different period?
Change the number. The notice period field is pre-filled with the statutory default and is yours to edit — a lease can lengthen a cure period, and the longer period then controls.
Do I get a PDF?
You get a print-ready document with correct 8.5×11 pagination. Click Unlock and your browser's print dialog opens; choose Save as PDF. That gives you a cleaner file than most generators produce, because the browser does the typesetting.
What if I serve it wrong?
Service is where these notices fail. Every document includes a proof-of-service block with the recognised methods for your state, and the day-of-service exclusion is already built into the deadline. If you serve by mail, tick the box and the mailing extension is added automatically.
