A five (5) day notice to quit is a form used to notify a tenant that they are in non-compliance with their residential lease due to a violation. The most popular is not paying rent on time, although the reason can be for any violation such as parking in the wrong area, damage to the premises or common areas, or any other condition that has been broken by the tenant. The form is typically given in person, through certified mail, or left in a conspicuous place on the resident’s property.
