A 60 Day Eviction Notice Form terminates a tenancy by giving 60 days of advance notice before the tenant must move out. Only a handful of states use this type of notice, and only in a few specific circumstances, such as sale of the rental unit.
No states use this type of notice for a “curable” situation (i.e., one which the tenant could take certain actions to correct), so the tenant does not have an opportunity to continue the lease.

Common Uses of A 60 Day Eviction Notice
These are the most common uses for a 60 Day Eviction Notice, in states which use them:
- Sale of the rental property
- Personal use of the rental property by the owner
- Termination of certain periodic tenancies
Sale of the Rental Property
Most states require disclosure to the tenant when the rental property is sold, and require termination of the existing tenancy (or at least giving the tenant the option to do so).
Personal Use By Owner
Some states allow early termination of a tenancy when the owner wishes to reclaim the property to live in themselves. For states that allow this, the tenant must receive proper advance notice of the change in use.
Termination of Tenancy
When a landlord wants to end a periodic tenancy, such as week-to-week or month-to-month, the landlord must give notice in order to terminate the rental obligations. This may also include rental situations without a written lease, and/or “at-will” tenancies.
With this type of notice, typically the tenant has done nothing wrong, and the landlord simply doesn’t want to renew the lease/rental agreement for whatever reason.
