What does an ordinary notice include?

AS 34.03.220(a)(2) requires the acts, omissions, termination date and an opportunity for adequate remedy when possible. AS 09.45.105 also requires the termination time and possession warning.

Administrative Bulletin 98 generally requires the official MED-600 court information sheet with a Notice to Quit when seeking eviction.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using ten days for every special ground.
Calling a new violation a repeat without prior notice evidence.
