What Are Landloard's Remedies?

If the tenant breaches the lease, the landlord may bring an action for possession of the premises and/or damages. For residential tenancies, the landlord must first give the following notice: for material noncompliance with the rental agreement or the obligations imposed by law which materially affect health and safety, thirty (30) days’ notice specifying the breach(s) and stating that the lease will be terminated in fourteen (14) days if the breach is not remedied. If a similar noncompliance recurs within six (6) months, the landlord may give fourteen (14) days’ notice that the lease will be terminated.

For failure to maintain the premises materially affecting health and safety, the landlord must first give the following notice: fourteen (14) days’ notice that if the breach is not remedied, the landlord will enter the premises to perform repairs and will bill the tenant for the repairs. For failure to pay rent when due, three (3) days’ notice that the lease will be terminated if the rent is not paid.

For threat constituting a clear and present danger to the health and safety of other tenants: three (3) days’ notice that the rent is terminated. Examples of threats constituting clear and present danger include: physical assault or threat of physical assault, illegal use or possession of a firearm, and possession of controlled substances not obtained through a valid prescription.
