Re: Non-Payment of Rent

Unless your lease states otherwise, there generaly are 2 notices the Tenant must receive BEFORE you can file a petition for eviction.

The first one is a Notice of Default and can be served by you (look at your lease for amount of days notice needed).

The next notice is a 3 day Notice to Quit and must be served in the same manner as the petition (not by you).
