Notice to Quit Isn't Defective

December 1, 1994

LVT Number: 9290

Landlord bought a building at auction. Landlord then sent tenants a 10-day notice to quit, which warned them that they'd be evicted if they didn't move out after the 10 days were up. Tenants claimed that the notice was defective because it didn't state their relationship to the building, or which section of the law on which landlord had based the petition. The court ruled that the notice was okay. It met the minimum requirements by saying that landlord had bought the building at auction, and it told tenants the consequences of not complying with the notice.
