Late rent & pay or quit
Late rent notice
A written late rent notice documents the default and gives the tenant a clear way to pay. It does not replace your state's pay-or-quit notice, but mailed by Certified Mail it gives you a dated record for your file.
Recommended: Certified + return receipt
Pay rent or quit notice
A pay-or-quit notice is the legal first step before a nonpayment eviction in most states. This template has the common elements; several states prescribe wording, so compare it with your statute (linked in our state guides) before serving.

Violations, entry & non-renewal
Lease violation notice
A lease violation notice tells the tenant what clause was broken, what to do about it and by when. The cure period comes from your state's statute: 3 days in California, 7 in Florida, 10 in Arizona and Washington, 21 in Virginia.
Recommended: Certified + return receipt
Notice of entry
Most states require advance notice before a landlord enters, except in emergencies: 24 hours in writing in California (mail it at least 6 days ahead), 2 days in Arizona and Washington. Use this notice for repairs, inspections and showings.
Recommended: First-Class letter
Lease non-renewal notice
Use this notice when a fixed-term lease will not be renewed. Check your state's notice period first (New York: 30, 60 or 90 days by tenancy length) and any just-cause or good cause rule that requires a reason.
Recommended: Certified + return receipt
Month-to-month termination notice
Ending a periodic tenancy takes the written notice your state sets: in California 30 days if the tenant has been there under a year and 60 days after a year; New York 30, 60 or 90 days; Florida at least 30 days before the end of a monthly period.
Recommended: Certified + return receipt
Rent increase notice
Give written notice of a rent increase early enough for your state's rule and any extra days for mailing: in California 30 days (10% or less) or 90 days (more than 10%), plus 5 days if mailed; in New York 30, 60 or 90 days for increases of 5% or more.

Security deposit itemization
Security deposit itemization
Most states require an itemized statement of deductions within a set number of days after move-out: 14 in New York, 21 in California, 30 in Washington, 45 in Virginia. Fill it in, attach receipts as extra pages, and mail it with proof of the date.
Recommended: Certified + return receipt
Florida notice of claim on deposit
Florida landlords who keep any part of a deposit must send this notice by certified mail within 30 days after the lease ends, substantially in the statute's wording. The tenant then has 15 days to object in writing.
