Eviction Notice PDF — Free Template (Generic, Not State-Specific)
Use the Eviction Notice PDF tool to capture landlord information, tenant details, reasons, and deadlines. It’s a starting point—double-check state or municipal forms before serving notice.
What an eviction notice usually includes
- Landlord or property manager contact info
- Tenant name(s) and property address
- The reason for notice—nonpayment, lease breach, end of term, or other
- The amount owed or description of the violation
- The date by which the tenant must remedy or vacate
- Signature line and delivery instructions
Why you should check local/state-specific forms
Many jurisdictions require specific language or statutory references. Always review state housing authority templates or consult an attorney before serving documents. Use this generator for drafts, then adapt it to the required form.
How to use the CourtPDF template as a starting point
- Open the Eviction Notice PDF tool.
- Enter landlord, tenant, property, and notice details. Load the sample if you need inspiration.
- Download the PDF, review it with counsel, and adjust language to meet local requirements.
- Serve it using certified mail or hand delivery, keeping proof via your rent ledger and rent receipt book.
Best practices: delivery and recordkeeping
Send notices via certified mail or another trackable method, keep copies in your rent ledger, and document any deposit issues with Security Deposit Proof. Organized records help if the matter reaches court.

FAQs
- Can I file this directly with the court?
- Not without verifying compliance. Courts often require statutory language or attachments. Treat this as a draft, then confirm with a lawyer or housing authority.
- Do I still need a lawyer?
- It’s highly recommended, especially for contested evictions. A lawyer can confirm timelines, service methods, and defenses.
- What if my state has a specific form?
- Use the state form. You can still prepare a narrative using the CourtPDF template and attach it as supporting documentation.
