The template mechanics.
The notice wizard supports pay or quit, cure or quit, and unconditional quit variants. You pick the kind, enter the tenants, the property, the notice date, and for pay or quit, the rent amount and period. LeaseKit computes the deadline based on California law and formats the notice with the statutory language, service method, and landlord signature line.
Honest limits.
LeaseKit is a document generator, built in collaboration with final year law students and developers, tailored to each state’s landlord tenant rules. For a eviction notice in California, it assembles the clauses that belong in the document and fills in your details.
It is not a substitute for a licensed attorney on a specific dispute. Housing law changes year to year. Template content is based on publicly available rules as of early 2026. Verify the notice periods and caps against current California law before using the PDF for anything time sensitive.
