Starting August 6, you cannot file an eviction case for non-payment of rent unless your rent demand includes specific statutory language required by HB25-1168 |
See Documents
This type of demand is essentially a formal request for the tenant to either pay the overdue rent or vacate the premises within a specified period. The notice outlines the amount owed, any additional fees applicable due to the late payment, and the deadline by which the tenant must either comply by paying the full amount due or relinquish possession of the property to the landlord.
These violations can range from causing significant damage to the property, engaging in illegal activities within the premises, to having unauthorized occupants or pets. The notice specifies the nature of the violation, what actions the tenant must take to remedy the breach, and the deadline for doing so.
Due to new laws, all nonpayment demands must now specify a date for tenants to either Pay or Vacate. This date is the “Pay or Vacate Date”. To ensure your nonpayment demands have a correct (legally compliant) pay or vacate date, follow these steps (you can also watch the video). Use the tools below to ensure that your Pay or Vacate Date is correct.
The Pay or Vacate Calculator is designed to calculate the pay or vacate date when you are making your two service attempts on consecutive days.
You must ensure that the pay or vacate date is at least 10 days (or 30 days for CARES Act properties) from the date the demand will actually be served, not counting the date of service.
Remember, the 10, 30, or 90 day count only starts running the day AFTER service is perfected. EXAMPLE service is perfected on the 9th. A ten day count would start on the 10th.
