Process

Unlike most notices to quit, this notice does not allow the tenant to remedy the breach. Therefore, the tenant must move out of the premises within five days. The tenant can challenge the landlord and if that’s the case, a hearing of the complaint can be scheduled after 14 days of notice. If the defendant does not appear at the hearing, judgment for possession shall be given immediately to the plaintiff (in this case the plaintiff would be the landlord/owner).
