Eviction Notice Periods by State: Pay-or-Quit, Cure-or-Quit and No-Cause Notices (2026)
By ClauseAudit Research · 53 sources ·
What are the eviction laws by state?
Most states give tenants a short window to pay late rent before a landlord can file. California, Florida and Texas allow 3 days, while New York, Washington, Minnesota and Virginia allow 14. Check how your state counts days: some skip weekends, holidays or non-business days, so the real deadline can run longer.

An eviction almost never starts in court. It starts with a written notice taped to a door or dropped in the mail, and that notice sets a clock. Pay what you owe, fix the problem, or move out before it runs down, and in most states the case never gets filed.
The length of that clock depends on where the property sits. This page lays out the notice a landlord must give for unpaid rent and for other lease violations in each state, how the days are counted, and what you can do with the time you have.

How many days does a landlord have to give before an eviction?
For unpaid rent, the answer ranges from 3 days to 14 days in most states, and a handful set no fixed notice at all. California, Florida, Texas, Ohio and Iowa sit at the short end with 3 days. New York, Washington, Minnesota and Virginia give 14.
The middle is crowded. Colorado, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Maryland use 10 days. Michigan and Alaska use 7. Illinois, Arizona, Delaware and Oklahoma use 5.
A few states set no pre-filing notice period for nonpayment. Missouri requires a demand for payment before filing but sets no fixed waiting time. South Dakota lets a landlord file once rent is 3 days past due, without a separate notice to quit.
Hawaii changed this year. Since February 5, 2026, landlords there must give 10 calendar days, up from 5 business days, and a copy of the notice goes to a mediation center. If mediation is scheduled in time, the landlord has to wait 20 days before filing.
Does a 3-day notice include weekends?
It depends on the state, and this is where a lot of tenants and landlords get the math wrong. A printed "3 days" can mean very different things on the calendar.
California's pay-or-quit notice skips Saturdays, Sundays and judicial holidays. Florida's 3-day rent notice skips weekends and court-observed holidays. Say a California tenant is served on a Thursday before a Monday holiday: Friday counts as day one, the weekend and Monday do not, and the deadline lands on Wednesday.
Other states use their own units. Utah counts 3 business days for unpaid rent. Alabama gives 7 business days. Nevada gives 7 judicial days for a residential tenant. Kansas counts 3 days as consecutive 24-hour periods and adds 2 days if the notice was mailed.
Some states also control when a notice can be served at all. In Oregon, a 10-day notice cannot go out before day 8 of the rental period, and a 13-day notice not before day 5. Rhode Island's 5-day notice only applies once rent is 15 days in arrears, and Maine's 7-day notice only once rent is 7 or more days late.
If you are a landlord, a notice that miscounts the days can get a case dismissed, and you have to start over. If you are a tenant, write down the date you received the notice and count forward using your state's rule, not the date printed on the page.
What is the difference between pay-or-quit and cure-or-quit?
A pay-or-quit notice is about money. It tells you to pay the rent owed or leave by the deadline. In most states, paying in full within the window ends the matter for that month.
A cure-or-quit notice covers everything else: an unauthorized pet, an extra occupant, noise, damage, a parking violation. It gives you time to fix the problem. These periods usually run longer than rent notices. Virginia allows 21 days to cure, and the tenancy can end no sooner than 30 days after notice. Kansas and Montana allow 14 days. Washington, Arizona, Alaska, Colorado and Oklahoma allow 10.
Serious breaches are different. Illegal activity, violence or major damage often get a much shorter notice, or no chance to cure at all. Florida, for example, gives 7 days to cure most breaches but 7 days to vacate for ones that cannot be fixed. Arizona cuts its 10-day cure period to 5 days for health and safety breaches. Montana drops to 3 days for unauthorized pets or occupants.
What about no-cause notices and federal rules?
A no-cause notice ends a tenancy without accusing the tenant of anything. It usually applies when a fixed-term lease expires or a month-to-month arrangement is being wound down. Whether a landlord can use one at all depends on state and local just-cause rules, which this page does not cover in detail.
Pennsylvania shows how the length can tie to the lease itself: a lease-end notice is 15 days for a lease of 1 year or less and 30 days for a lease over 1 year.
Federal law adds a floor for some buildings. Under the CARES Act, properties with federally backed mortgages and federally assisted housing must give tenants 30 days' notice to vacate. It is not always obvious whether a building qualifies. If your landlord hands you a 3-day notice and the property has a federally backed loan, that 30-day rule may control.
What to do if you get an eviction notice
- Write down the date and how you received it. Hand delivery, posting and mail can start the clock on different days.
- Count the deadline using your state's rule. Check whether weekends, holidays or non-business days are excluded.
- Read what the notice demands. A pay-or-quit notice should state an amount. Compare it against your ledger, and question late fees or charges that are not rent.
- If you can pay or fix the problem, do it before the deadline and get a receipt or written confirmation.
- Check whether your building is covered by federal rules or a local just-cause ordinance. Either can lengthen the notice or limit the reasons a landlord can use.
- Contact local legal aid or a tenant hotline early. The notice period is the cheapest time to resolve a dispute.
What these notice periods mean for small landlords and business tenants
If you rent out a unit or two, the notice is the step most likely to sink your case. Use the right form, serve it the right way and count the days correctly. Maryland, for example, requires its 10-day notice on the Judiciary's form, and Texas, under S.B. 38, now requires a notice to pay rent or vacate for a tenant who has not been late before.
Commercial tenants should not assume residential rules apply. Nevada gives residential tenants 7 judicial days but commercial tenants only 5 days. Many commercial leases also shorten or waive notice by contract where the state allows it. Read the default and notice sections of your lease before you sign, because that is where your real cushion is set.
How ClauseAudit helps
State law sets the minimum notice, but your lease decides a lot of what happens before and after it. Late fees, grace periods and the way notices must be delivered all live in the contract.
Upload your lease for an automated review before you sign or renew. It flags default and notice clauses that conflict with your state's rules and explains each one in plain English.
- Rent due date and grace period: when is rent late, and when can a notice be served?
- Late fees: is the amount allowed in your state, and does it stack up daily?
- Notice delivery: does the lease allow email or posting, and when does the clock start?
- Default and cure: does the lease give you time to fix a violation, or try to waive notice entirely?
- Attorney fees: who pays legal costs if a dispute goes to court?
- Renewal and termination: how much notice is needed to end or renew the lease?
Frequently asked questions
What is the shortest eviction notice for unpaid rent?
Several states use 3 days, including California, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Mississippi and Montana. South Dakota goes further and requires no notice to quit at all; a landlord can file once rent is 3 days past due. Missouri also sets no fixed period, though it requires a demand for payment before filing.
Which states give tenants the most time to pay late rent?
New York, Washington, Minnesota and Virginia each give 14 days, and Vermont, Massachusetts and Tennessee also land at 14. New York requires a 14-day written rent demand before a nonpayment case. Minnesota's 14 days can run longer where a local law requires it.
Can my landlord evict me if I pay within the notice period?
In most states, paying the full amount demanded before the deadline ends that nonpayment case. Get a receipt. There are exceptions: in Wisconsin, a repeat rent default within one year can lead to a 14-day notice with no right to pay and stay. Read the notice carefully to see which type you received.
Does a 3-day notice in California include weekends?
No. California's pay-or-quit and perform-or-quit notices exclude Saturdays, Sundays and judicial holidays. A notice served on a Friday does not reach its third day until the following Wednesday. Florida uses a similar rule for its 3-day rent notice, excluding weekends and court-observed holidays.
What changed in Texas eviction notices in 2026?
Texas S.B. 38 took effect January 1, 2026. The default notice to vacate is still 3 days unless the lease sets another period, but tenants who have not been late before must first get a notice to pay rent or vacate. That gives a first-time late payer a chance to catch up.
What is the CARES Act 30-day notice?
It is a federal rule requiring 30 days' notice to vacate for tenants in covered properties: federally assisted housing and properties with federally backed mortgage loans. It applies on top of state law. If your state allows a shorter notice but your building is covered, the 30-day notice may still be required.
How long do I have to fix a lease violation?
Cure periods vary more than rent notices. Virginia allows 21 days, Kansas and Montana 14 days, and Washington, Arizona, Alaska, Colorado and Oklahoma 10 days. Florida and Iowa allow 7 days. California and Utah allow 3. Serious breaches, such as illegal activity, often get a shorter period or none.
Can a lease shorten the state's eviction notice period?
Sometimes. Indiana's 10-day notice applies unless the lease says otherwise, Texas leases can set a different period, and a written waiver in a Louisiana lease can remove the 5-day notice to vacate. Tennessee lets a lease waive notice only in 12-point bold type. Where the statute sets no lease exception, assume the state minimum applies and check before you sign.
