What Is an Indiana Eviction Notice?

An Indiana eviction notice is a written document landlords must serve before filing for eviction. It explains the lease violation or termination reason, gives tenants time to comply or move out, and is required before the court will hear an eviction case. Eviction notices in Indiana must comply with Indiana Code Title 32, Article 31.

When to Use Each Type of Indiana Eviction Notice

Indiana law sets minimum timelines depending on the situation. Use Document Genius to select the correct notice type from the dropdown before creating your form.

  • 10-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (IN Code § 32-31-1-6): Served when tenants fail to pay rent. Gives them ten days to pay in full or vacate before an eviction case can be filed.
  • Notice to Quit for Non-Compliance (IN Code § 32-31-7-7): Used for lease violations unrelated to rent, such as property damage or unauthorized occupants. Tenants must be given a “reasonable time” to fix the problem or leave.
  • 30-Day Lease Termination Notice (Month-to-Month Tenancy): Ends a month-to-month rental agreement with at least 30 days’ written notice when there’s no lease violation.
  • 90-Day Lease Termination Notice (Year-to-Year Tenancy): For annual or long-term fixed leases, landlords must provide 90 days’ written notice before termination.

How to Write an Indiana Eviction Notice

To complete your notice correctly:

  1. Select the correct notice type for your situation
  2. List landlord and tenant details with the rental property address
  3. Explain the reason for eviction if required by law
  4. Include the correct notice period for compliance or move-out
  5. Sign and date the notice before serving it

How to Serve an Indiana Eviction Notice

Indiana law allows landlords to serve notices by:

  • Delivering it directly to the tenant
  • Leaving it with someone living at the property
  • Posting it at the rental property if the tenant cannot be found

Keep proof of delivery, as the court will require it before proceeding with eviction.

Next Steps After Sending the Notice

If the tenant does not comply by the deadline:

  • File a Claim for Possession of Property or eviction complaint with the local court
  • The tenant will receive a summons with a hearing date
  • If the court rules for the landlord, it issues an Eviction Order allowing the sheriff to remove the tenant if necessary
