Kentucky eviction process

7 days nonpayment notice.

Where URLTA applies, nonpayment requires a 7-day notice and lease violations a 14-day notice. Month-to-month tenancies end on 30 days' notice.

What this means for you: Deadlines depend on whether your locality adopted URLTA.

Your next step: Confirm local adoption of URLTA and respond to any notice promptly.
