2. Notice to Pay Rent or Quit

A notice to pay rent or quit is used to advise the tenant they are in violation of the rental agreement. The form provides the tenant to either pay the past due amount of rent by a specific date or vacate the premises. In some states, serving the wrong form could invalidate the notice. Use AAOA’s state-specific notices so you can ensure you are serving the correct notice with the proper legal language.

3. Notice of Entry

A notice to entry is required in most states whether you are entering for a routine inspection, necessary repairs, or to show the property to a potential buyer or new tenant. AAOA’s form builder will create a form based on your state’s Notice of Entry laws, if any. We recommend providing a notice regardless of whether it’s required in your state though, as it helps build better relationships with your tenants.

4. Notice of Termination of Tenancy

Typically a termination notice is provided at the end of an annual lease or to end a month-to-month agreement. However, providing the wrong termination notice can result in an unwanted tenancy. Make sure you use this state-specific form that ensures a smooth move-out.
