This notice can also be used to end periodic tenancies such as week-to-week or month-to-month tenancies. In cases where the tenant can still fix the problem to avoid eviction, the notice will inform the tenant that they will not be evicted should they comply within the notice period. It is recommended that landlords give tenants an opportunity to fix violations, whenever possible, lest a judge should decide that more notice was required.&lt;\u002Fp&gt;&lt;p&gt;Note that if you select a notice period of &quot;0 days,&quot; then this means that the notice will require that the tenant immediately vacate (or cure the violation, if applicable).&lt;\u002Fp&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important:&lt;\u002Fb&gt; Landlords should never use a shorter notice period than allowed by state law unless state law explicitly provides exceptions or permits the parties to agree to a shorter notice period in the lease agreement. If a lease agreement between the landlord and tenant specifies a longer notice period than the state minimum, the landlord MUST use the notice period agreed to in the lease. In this case, select &quot;Other&quot; when asked to select the amount of notice being provided and enter in the amount of time specified in the lease.&lt;\u002Fp&gt;&lt;p&gt;In many states, accepting rent after the expiration of a fixed-term lease automatically converts it to a month-to-month tenancy. If this has occurred, then select &quot;End Periodic Tenancy&quot; as your reason for eviction and include the corresponding amount of notice.&lt;\u002Fp&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to comply with your state requirements for serving the notice.
