Used For…
The 10-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment) is used by landlords in Pennsylvania to demand a tenant to either pay the past-due rent owed or vacate the property thereby ending the lease. In either case, this notice does not waive the landlord's right to unpaid rent. A landlord is required to provide the tenant with this notice, giving the tenant 10 days to pay the past-due rent or move out prior to any eviction filings. The Notice must include:
- The rental home address
- The total amount due (including any late fees), where the payment should be made, and to whom the rent should be paid.
- The name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom rent is due
Day 1 is the day the tenant was served the Notice. Weekends and holidays are included in the 10-day period.
Is this Notice Curable?
Yes, this 10-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment) is curable because the tenant can pay the past-due rent to be allowed to continue occupying the property.
