How much notice must landlord give before eviction?

Minimum 15 days for month-to-month tenancy under TPA Section 106. Lease agreements may specify longer periods. State Rent Control Acts may require 1-6 months.

The notice period for eviction depends on the type of tenancy and applicable laws. Under the Transfer of Property Act Section 106, a 15-day notice is required for month-to-month tenancies. However, if you have a written lease agreement, the notice period specified in the agreement applies. State Rent Control Acts often provide additional protections with longer notice periods ranging from 1 to 6 months. Even after the notice period expires, the landlord cannot forcibly evict you — they must file an eviction suit in court. The notice must be in writing and must specify the grounds for eviction as per the applicable Rent Control Act.
