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 date the period ends — counted in court days where the statute says so — plus the earliest day you can take the next step.

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.

Eviction periods from our eviction dataset (as of 2026); month-to-month cross-check from the lease dataset (as of 2026). California, Florida and Texas are counted with each statute’s court-day and holiday rules; month-to-month rules for California, Florida, Texas, New York, Vermont, Washington and Maryland come from the statutes behind the notice to vacate generator. Compare states in the notice periods study, find the right form with the notice wizard, or map every step after the notice with the eviction timeline calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How is the deadline calculated?

In California, Florida and Texas the calculator counts the way the statute does: California’s 3-day notices skip Saturdays, Sundays and judicial holidays (CCP §1161); Florida’s 3-day notice skips Saturdays, Sundays and court-observed holidays (§83.56(3)); Texas counts every day but moves a deadline that lands on a weekend or a state or federal holiday to the next day that is not (Prop. Code §24.0042). In the other states it adds the statutory period in calendar days to the service date — check the linked statute for weekend, holiday and mailing rules before you rely on that date.

Does the day I served the notice count?

Not in California, Florida or Texas: the count starts the next day. Many other states also exclude the day of service; some push a deadline that falls on a weekend or court holiday to the next business day, and several add days when the notice is mailed. Outside the three states we count, the calculator shows the plain calendar arithmetic and links the statute so you can apply those rules.

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 is ending a month-to-month tenancy handled separately?

Because the date depends on who gives notice, how long the tenant has lived there and, in some states, on when the rental period ends. For the states we have verified (California, Florida, Texas, New York, Vermont, Washington and Maryland) the calculator shows the rule and the notice to vacate generator works out the exact date; elsewhere it shows the period from our datasets with their citations.

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.
