Do you have to state reason for eviction in your notice?

[Sofiya Cherni]

Do you have to state the specific reason for eviction in your Notice to Vacate besides breach of lease? The county guy I spoke to said I don't have to be specific and can just say "due to breach of lease" and that I don't have to give them an option to correct the issue (I want them gone). I find it odd that someone on here told me that i can't evict due to son not being on the lease but living on premises yet county said if more than 30 days that is a valid reason to evict. PS i did give them a chance to fill out an application for him as he is an adult but they ignored it.

Also, do you put in the notice that if they don't get out in 30 days you will file for eviction? I didn't see that in the document language from the county. Is it just assumed? My tenants aren't the brightest so i didn't want to catch them off guard, want them to understand where this is headed.
