Q: My landlord texted me 12 days ago that I have a 14 day notice to vacate due to breach of contract after 15 years
However, I have yet to receive written notice from them as they stated they would be providing the following day nor have the details of the breach been disclosed with me as well as whether the allegations are curable yet in 15 years this will be my first alleged violation and the first time I’ve had any issues since i obtained my residency here. Since no written notice has been provided to me as of yet, would it still be considered an official notice? Are they not supposed to provide me with an explanation of the alleged breach(es) along with an itemized list of what their basis is for this determination to allow me an ample amount of time to either remedy the situation or to vacate the premises? I’m also on a month to month lease, so how much time are they legally required to provide for an official notice to vacate and when is that supposed to be initiated exactly? Thank you for your time,

A: Until you are served or posted with a Detainer Warrant, landlord has done nothing to sue for possession. When served, then you will probably have to leave. In the mean time, you can pay rent if you intend to stay. Otherwise leave on your own or wait to be served.
