1) A landlord may file for eviction as soon as the rent is late--that is, as soon as it is not paid by the date required by the lease (whether written or oral), unless there is a written lease which, by its terms, gives the tenant a grace period.
2) No 30 day notice is required for nonpayment evictions.
