5 Day Notices
What day of the month do you usually serve your 5 day notices to tenants?
Most Popular Reply

Naketa Washington the sooner the better however you want to make sure you serve them prior to a new month beginning. The five day notice is basically telling them if you don't pay in five days the contract is null/void and you must leave. The reason behind serving them before a new month begins is because chicago requires you to give the tenant 30 days notice to evict. For example if you give the tenant an eviction notice on July 31st then they have to be out by Aug. 31st. However, if you serve them Aug. 1st then they have till Sept. 30th to get out. Hope thats what you were looking for.
