Pay-or-Quit Notice Worksheet
A defective notice is the most common reason a nonpayment case gets dismissed — sending the landlord back to the start weeks later. This worksheet walks the parts that decide validity: the notice period, what may be claimed, accepted service methods, proof of service, and the tenant's right to cure.

Frequently asked
Is this a court-ready form?
No. Many jurisdictions mandate a specific official form, and the required period and wording vary by state and city. This helps you assemble a correct notice and tells you to confirm the current requirement — it does not pretend to be the filing.
Can I include late fees in the amount?
Often not — several states restrict a pay-or-quit notice to rent only, and overstating the amount can void the notice. The checklist flags it.
