    I was wondering if someone could help me with the wording of a letter.

    I have to write a 14 DAY NOTICE to our tenant for them to pay their rent and remove all personal belongings from the house. Could someone help me with the wording??

    Do you mean a notice of termination?

    The PRTB have a sample notice of termination on this page

    Have a read of the Termination of Tenancy document on this page to make sure you're within your rights.

    [Date]

    Dear [Tenants First & Last Names],

    In accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, I am serving you notice to fulfil your obligations as tenant(s) and pay your rent within 14 days of this letter (ie [Date 14 days from letter delivery day]). If you do not pay within the 14 days I will be forced to initiate eviction proceedings.

    Regards,

    [Your Name]

    You can't tell them to remove their stuff yet. You have to give them notice of termination after the 14 days notice to pay their rent is up. This notice period, I think, varies with the length of their tenancy. You should contact Threshold to make sure that you are doing everything by the letter of the law.

    These links to the PRTB site are dead. I haven't been able to find samples on their site. They also seem to be too busy to reply to my queries.

    The sample noticein the second post is invalid. To be valid the notice must state the amount of rent outstanding at the date of notice.
