If I need to send an eviction notice, what information needs to be in it?
I had a verbal agreement with the family living in my deceased mother’s home that they would buy the property from me after they moved in. They recently notified me that they are unable to pay for the home – this is after 2 years of rent-free occupancy. I want the family to vacate the premises so that I can sell the property to another buyer. I understand that I must give them 30 days notice before I can get a court-ordered eviction notice delivered. I want the property to be left in undamaged condition. What information needs to be in the notice to protect my rights?

Typically, a Notice to Vacate must be dated the date that it is given, list the property address, the name of the landlord, the name(s) of the tenant(s), the timeframe in which the rental property should become vacant, the reason for giving notice, and should be signed by the person delivering it. Additionally, you can contact the local court to see what if, if any, forms that it may have for this.
