The notices and their periods
- 10-Day Notice to Pay or Quit — for nonpayment (Ind. Code § 32-31-1-6) — ten days to pay all rent owed or move out.
- Notice to Cure (reasonable time) — for lease violations, Indiana requires a “reasonable” opportunity to cure rather than a fixed number of days (§ 32-31-7-7); what's reasonable depends on the violation.
- Unconditional Quit (immediate) — for serious or illegal conduct — drug activity, violence, or significant property destruction — the landlord can demand immediate move-out (§ 32-31-1-8).
Ending a tenancy and serving notice
To end a month-to-month tenancy without cause, give 30 days' written notice (Ind. Code § 32-31-1-1). A year-to-year tenancy requires 90 days.
Once the notice period runs (or for an incurable violation), the landlord files in the county or small claims court — the filing is called a Notice of Claim for Possession.
“Reasonable time” for violations
Unlike most states, Indiana doesn't set a fixed cure period for lease violations — it requires a “reasonable amount of time” (§ 32-31-7-7), which varies with the nature of the breach. For serious or criminal conduct, no cure period is required and the landlord can move immediately under § 32-31-1-8.

Eviction rules are strict and vary by state, county, and city — many cities add rent-control or just-cause requirements on top of state law, and an improper or mistimed notice can get an eviction case delayed or dismissed. Verify the current requirements for your property's location and, for contested or high-stakes evictions, consult a landlord-tenant attorney. Statute references verified June 2026.
