notice to quit

Read a random definition: State

A quick definition of notice to quit:

A notice to quit is a written notice from a landlord to a tenant, telling them to leave the property within a certain amount of time. The law in each state decides when a landlord can give this notice, how it should be given, and how much time the tenant has to leave. For example, in New Jersey, a landlord can give notice if the tenant stays after their lease is up, doesn't pay rent, or breaks the rules. The notice must be given in person or left at the tenant's home with someone over 14 years old. The amount of time the tenant has to leave depends on the type of lease they have. The landlord must give notice before starting the process to evict the tenant. Sometimes, a tenant can also give notice to quit, telling the landlord they plan to leave.

A more thorough explanation:

In landlord-tenant law, a notice to quit is a written notice from a landlord to a tenant demanding that they vacate the premises within a certain amount of time. The specific circumstances under which a landlord can issue a notice, the manner in which it should be provided, and the amount of time given to the tenant before they must vacate are governed by state statutes.

For example, in New Jersey, a landlord can issue a notice to quit in the following circumstances:

  • When a tenant holds over and continues to occupy the premises after their lease has expired
  • When a tenant holds over after defaulting on rent payments
  • When a tenant behaves in a disorderly manner, damages the property, or violates the lease agreement

The notice must be served personally to the tenant or left at their usual place of abode with a family member over the age of 14. The amount of time given to the tenant before they must vacate depends on the type of tenancy they have. For example, a tenant with a month-to-month tenancy must be given one month's notice, while a tenant with a tenancy at will or from year to year must be given three months' notice.

It's important to note that a landlord must provide a valid notice to quit before beginning the eviction process.

In some cases, notice to quit may also refer to a notice from the tenant to the landlord informing them of their intent to vacate the premises.

These examples illustrate how a notice to quit is used in landlord-tenant law. They show that a landlord can only issue a notice to quit under certain circumstances and must follow specific procedures for serving the notice and providing the tenant with enough time to vacate. The examples also demonstrate that a tenant can provide notice to quit as well, indicating their intent to vacate the premises.

Jackfrost has a point though, a good way to stand out with your apps is to do as much "optional" stuff as possible, including the interview

Defining “postmodernism” is a daunting task. One commentator has likened it to “trying to nail gelatin to a wall.” Part of the difficulty is postmodernism’s heterogeneity. As Angela Harris has noted, “There are as many different definitions of postmodernism as there are postmodernists.”
