Specify whether the purpose is to demand payment, address a breach or seek recovery of possession. The correct legal ground should determine the document and notification process.
What to know
A payment demand, a notice seeking possession and a court eviction order serve different purposes. The tenancy issue and legal ground determine the notice period, wording and permitted service route.
Do not apply a generic notice period to every case or treat a notice as an automatic eviction. Review the lease and supporting evidence, use the legally required notification route, and bring the appropriate claim before the Rental Disputes Center where necessary.
