A 7-day eviction notice is a formal document that a landlord or their representative can use to address any violations of a lease agreement by a tenant. This notice is typically used in cases of non-payment of rent, but it can be used for any lease violation.
It gives the tenant seven days to rectify the violation before eviction proceedings begin. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice or does not vacate the property within the stipulated time, the landlord may file for eviction.
