Eviction Notices in Kentucky
Kentucky's eviction process varies depending on whether the local jurisdiction has adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA). In URLTA jurisdictions, landlords must serve a 14-day notice to cure or vacate for nonpayment; non-URLTA jurisdictions typically use a 7-day notice.
Kentucky courts require compliance with applicable notice requirements. Self-help evictions are prohibited, and a landlord must obtain a court judgment before removing a tenant.
