If the tenant does not reside in an acceptable manner, the landlord may terminate after how many days from written notice to move out?

• A. 14 days
• B. 7 days
• C. 21 days
• D. 28 days

Answer: (B)

When a tenant isn’t living up to the terms of the lease, the landlord isn’t allowed to just end things immediately. The tenant must be given a written notice detailing the violation and a short period to fix it. For non‑monetary lease violations—things like violating occupancy rules, creating a nuisance, or otherwise not residing in an acceptable manner—the standard cure period is seven days. If the tenant cures the violation within those seven days, the lease continues. If not, the landlord can terminate the rental agreement and start eviction proceedings.

So, seven days is the appropriate window because it provides a brief, defined opportunity to correct the issue before moving to terminate the tenancy. The longer time frames listed in the other options aren’t the typical cure periods for this type of violation.
