1130-DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT
VIOLATION OF OBLIGATION OF TENANCY OR VACATE
INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are to be used with a 30-DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT VIOLATION
OF OBLIGATION OF TENANCY OR VACATE.
When to Use This Form:
The 30-DAY NOTICE TO CORRECT VIOLATION OF
OBLIGATION OF TENANCY OR VACATE is required before you can file an eviction
lawsuit against your tenant based on the tenant’s violation of a valid written lease
or the tenant’s violation of his or her responsibilities under the D.C. Housing Code.
The violation of the lease or housing regulations must have occurred no more than
six months before you issue this notice. D.C. law requires that you give the tenant
a chance to correct the violations before you have the right to file a lawsuit to evict
the tenant.
If the tenant has violated a written lease or the housing regulations and has also
failed to pay rent, you can include the rent on this notice.
If the tenant’s only
violation is failing to pay rent, you should use the 30-DAY NONPAYMENT NOTICE TO
QUIT form instead, even if you do not have a written lease.
If you are having problems with a tenant but the tenant is not violating a written
lease or the housing code and is still paying the rent, you cannot use this form, and
you may want to talk to a lawyer about your options.
