*KS – Unless tenancy is shorter than three (3) months therefore it would be three (3) days.
When a tenant fails to pay the total amount identified on a Notice to Quit, the landlord will have rights to begin the eviction process. Payment to the appropriate state martial must be made in that case. Other states require that the Notice to Quit is delivered through a formal delivery and therefore tenant must be served. Dependent on the state, some states may allow the Notice to Quit to be sent through the standard mail or first class mail, posted to the property, or it may be left at the property rented. The local tenant/landlord laws should be consulted to determine the appropriate delivery method for a Notice to Quit. The Notice to Quit should also identify the months the rent is owed for. The Notice to Quit should document all payments owed, to be inclusive of total rent to be paid current, late fees, and other incurred penalties as agreed upon on the rental agreement. Each state has local laws surrounding the amount of time each tenant has to satisfy the amount owed, and then at the minimum, the legally required amount of time should be identified on the Notice to Quit. When a tenant has been provided a Notice to Quit, it will be important to provide them with the appropriate time frame to rectify the situation.
If there is a statutory grace period, the landlord will have to wait until after to send the notice. A notice to pay or quit is a formal letter sent to a tenant when they have not paid rent on the date mentioned in the lease agreement.
