The landlord must provide a 10-day notice to pay or vacate for nonpayment of rent.
If there’s been a lease violation, you must provide reasonable notice, but the law doesn’t indicate a required number of days.
The landlord must ask the court for an order allowing the removal of the tenant’s personal property. The order and the location of the storage facility where the items will be stored must be personally served upon the tenant at their last known address.
If the tenant does not remove the property before the date in the order, the landlord can remove the property to the aforementioned storage facility or a warehouseman. The tenant may claim the property by paying the storage fee. If the tenant does not claim the property within 90 days after receiving the notice, the warehouseman or storage facility may sell the property.
