For a material lease violation or a health-and-safety violation of tenant duties, the landlord must mail a written demand notice listing the breach and what is needed to fix it, stating the lease ends on a date at least 21 days after mailing unless the breach is remedied within 20 days. The eviction case can't be filed before the day after that termination date.
