In real estate and landlord tenant law, a notice to quit is a formal notice given by a landlord to a tenant directing the tenant to vacate the rented property. It is typically used to terminate a tenancy or to address a violation of lease terms.
The notice to quit must comply with statutory requirements regarding content and timing, which vary by jurisdiction. When properly served, it initiates the legal process that may lead to eviction if the tenant does not vacate or cure the issue within the specified period.
