Notice Deadline Calculator

Pick your state, the type of notice and the day you served it. You get the statutory notice period, its citation, and the calendar date the period ends — the earliest day you can take the next step.

1 · State where the rental is located

2 · Type of notice

Pay rent or quit — unpaid rent. Cure lease violation or quit — a fixable breach of the lease. End a month-to-month tenancy — no violation alleged.

3 · Date the notice was (or will be) served

Statutory notice periods, all 50 states + DC

The numbers the calculator uses. "No statutory rule" means the statute sets no fixed day count for that notice type, or it could not be verified — check the lease and the linked statute. Source per state in the last column.

Frequently asked questions

How is the deadline calculated?

Deadline = service date + the statutory notice period for your state and notice type, counted in calendar days. The period comes from our audited dataset of state statutes (the citation is shown next to every result). The calculator does not add days for weekends, holidays, mailing, or the day of service — some statutes do, so check the linked statute before you rely on the date.

Does the day I served the notice count?

It depends on the statute. Many states exclude the day of service and start counting the next day; some also push a deadline that falls on a weekend or court holiday to the next business day, and several add extra days when the notice is mailed instead of hand-delivered. The calculator shows the plain calendar arithmetic and links the statute so you can apply those rules yourself.

What does "no statutory rule" mean?

It means the state statute does not set a fixed number of days for that notice type, or we could not verify one with confidence — we never guess a number. In those states the period may come from the lease, a local ordinance, or case law. Follow the source link for the state and read the lease.

Why do two different numbers show for ending a month-to-month tenancy?

We maintain two datasets: one for eviction notices and one for lease agreements. For a few states they cite different provisions or tenancy tiers (for example, a tenant-side versus landlord-side notice). When they disagree, the calculator shows both with their citations so you can check which applies to your situation.

This calculator organizes what state statutes say; it is not legal advice. For a contested eviction or anything unusual, talk to a landlord-tenant attorney in your state.
