Notice of Lease Violation

A Notice of Lease Violation is a document through which a landlord can inform a tenant that they are in violation of their lease. In a Notice of Lease Violation, a landlord informs the tenant what the violation is, what portion of the lease is being violated, and what the options are to fix, or cure, the violation (if any). In other words, a Notice of Lease Violation is often sent to a tenant when they may be at risk for having their lease terminated due to their violation.

Within a Notice of Lease Violation, there is often only basic information included: names and identifying information of the parties, the date the lease was signed, the violation and portion of the lease that is being violated, and the consequences. Often, a Notice of Lease Violation is just the beginning of a process through which the landlord may attempt eviction of the tenant.
