A 30 day notice to quit can be used to terminate tenancy for both a tenant at will and a tenant under lease. With a tenant at will you do not need to state a specific reason for terminating the tenancy. A tenant under lease must have violated some provision of the lease to initiate the eviction process which has to be stated in the 30 day notice to quit.
A 30 day notice to quit must give your tenant either a minimum of 30 days or one full rental cycle, whichever is GREATER. This notice must terminate their tenancy on a day in which rent is due. So for example, if rent was due on the 1st of every month and you requested service on June 6, the notice would terminate tenancy on the expiration of July 31.
The type of tenancy you have, and the language contained in your lease, will determine the specific language needed in your 30 day notice to quit.
For us to help you create the 30 day notice to quit we will need landlord’s name(s), address, and contact information as well as the tenant’s name(s) and address.
Once the notice is drawn up one of our Constables will effectuate service upon your tenant. Although service is not required to be in-hand to the tenant, SCCO makes every effort to serve that tenant in-hand. If the tenant is not served in-hand then a copy is left at the last and usual place of residence in addition to a copy also being mailed to that same address.
After service is completed our office will complete a Return of Service that will state the date, time, and manner (in-hand, last and usual) in which the tenant was served. This return of service is typically completed on the back of a copy of the notice served, then mailed to the landlord to keep for their records. DO NOT LOSE THIS; YOU WILL NEED THIS NOTICE WITH THE PROOF OF SERVICE IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP.
Please check your lease for specific language and notice requirements as all leases are not the same.
