Eviction Notices in Arkansas
Arkansas's eviction process for nonpayment of rent uses a distinctive process compared to most states — landlords may proceed under the Failure to Pay Rent statute, which allows a 3-day written notice before filing.
Arkansas historically had a unique criminal eviction statute for nonpayment of rent, which has been substantially limited by courts; most landlords today use the civil unlawful detainer process. Self-help evictions remain illegal.
