An Indiana eviction notice is a document that allows a landlord to notify their tenant that they have committed a lease violation. The notice to quit includes both a description of the offense and the time required to fix the issue. Most violations are because of late rent but can be for any type of lease non-compliance.

Step 1 – Before evicting a tenant, the landlord must give the tenant a chance to move out or if the tenant has failed to pay rent, to pay the full amount owed. Landlord must provide notice to the tenant with the request:

If the tenant is committing waste (destroying the property), the landlord does not need to provide notice in order to commence the eviction process.

Step 2 – If the tenant fails to respond to the notice and remains at the premises, landlord can file an action in the Local Court to evict the tenant starting with the Complaint Form.

Step 3 – The landlord must have the complaint and summons served on the tenant and the tenant will have to show up in court on the date specified by the clerk. If the tenant does not respond, the court will issue an order granting possession to the landlord.
