HB 577 extends the required notice-to-vacate period for tenants under default or at-will agreements from three days to 14 days, unless the lease specifies otherwise. For leases terminated due to tenant misconduct (e.g., lease violations), the existing three-day notice remains. This bill seeks to provide tenants with more time to respond to eviction notices while balancing landlords’ rights in cases of clear violations.
