    Product Description

    This new seminar guides practitioners through the drafting and service of notices to quit, the first step in the commencement of a Summary Process action. There is more to consider in drafting, however, than just the reason for the eviction. Recent changes to the rules and requirements of the District and Housing Courts, resulting from the pandemic, make it incumbent upon landlord attorneys to be aware of these changes before drafting or serving any notice to quit.

    Experienced faculty explain the basics of draftsmanship, from determining the cause of the eviction, to ensuring that the appropriate attachments are served with the notice. The faculty analyze the types of tenancies, reasons for eviction, e-filing requirements, and pitfalls in service of the notice. Both non-subsidized and subsidized notice are addressed.

    The seminar is designed to provide practitioners with not only the basics of drafting, but a clear understanding of the process of commencing a Summary Process action. Care in preparing the notice can avoid unintended consequences, such as dismissal, for failure to properly terminate the tenancy or occupancy.
