Pay-or-Quit Rent Demand Letter

What This Is

A pay-or-quit notice is a formal demand that a tenant pay overdue rent within a specified timeframe (often 3-5 days) or vacate the property. It's typically the first required step before filing an eviction.

When to Use This

• Your tenant has failed to pay rent on time
• You need to formally demand payment before starting eviction proceedings
• You want to give the tenant a final opportunity to pay
• Your state requires a written notice before eviction filing

What We'll Ask You

We'll guide you through 10-14 questions including:

• Property address and tenant names
• Lease start date and rent amount
• Amount owed and dates rent was due
• State-specific notice period requirements
• Method of delivery (personal, posted, certified mail)

What You'll Receive

A professionally formatted pay-or-quit notice compliant with your state's requirements, ready to deliver to your tenant. Includes proper notice period and legal language.

What This Is NOT

• This is not an eviction filing—it's the notice that precedes one
• This does not remove the tenant from the property
• This is not legal advice or attorney representation
• You prepare and deliver this document yourself
