A Rhode Island 20-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Compliance) is a form delivered to a tenant specifying a breach of the rental agreement and the acts, repairs, or payments of damages that are necessary to fix the breach. Unless the breach is remedied within 20 days of mailing the notice by certified mail, the rental agreement shall terminate upon the specified date (shall not be less than 21 days after the mailing of the notice) noted in the document.
If the breach is incurable or the tenant has committed prior noncompliance of the same act within 6 months, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement upon at least 20 days written notice while specifying the breach and the termination date.
