Landlords must provide tenants at least 6 days written notice before a scheduled eviction date when a warrant of restitution has been issued for failure to pay rent, breach of lease, or holding over

Notice must be sent by first-class mail with certificate of mailing, posted on the front door with a date-stamped photograph, and sent electronically if the landlord has the tenant's email or phone number

Notice must include the court case number, tenant name, property address, warrant date, scheduled eviction date, redemption amount if applicable, and information about how to seek legal advice through 211 or District Court Help Center

Landlords may charge tenants up to $5 for notice expenses, and sheriffs must verify proper notice was provided before executing the warrant

Local jurisdictions may adjust the notice period between 4 and 14 days, and tenants who prevail in court for violations of these requirements are entitled to actual damages, attorney's fees, injunctive relief, or other remedies
