Self-help notice overview
A written Indiana 10-Day Notice to Quit for Nonpayment of Rent helps document the landlord, tenant, rental property, rent due, notice date, statutory form language, service method, and records to keep before any court filing.
Indiana supplies statutory notice wording in Ind. Code § 32-31-1-7. Complete the blanks and rent ledger fields, but do not rewrite the operative statutory sentence. Read the lease first because § 32-31-1-8 and lease terms can affect whether notice is required.
Serve through the § 32-31-1-9 ladder: tenant first; if the tenant cannot be found, a resident at the premises with contents explained; if no such person is found, conspicuous posting. Mail and email alone are not statutory service methods.

Quick answer
Use this Indiana 10-Day Notice to Quit for residential nonpayment when a statutory 10-day notice is required. The tenant-facing notice tracks the statutory form language in Ind. Code § 32-31-1-7, gives the tenant ten days after receipt to pay the rent due or vacate, and must be served through the § 32-31-1-9 service ladder — not by mail or email alone.
Indiana supplies a statutory notice form in § 32-31-1-7. This packet preserves the statutory tenant-facing language and adds practical fields for the rent ledger and landlord records. Complete the blanks, but do not rewrite the operative statutory sentence.
Section 32-31-1-6 uses not less than ten days for refusal or neglect to pay rent when due, unless the parties otherwise agreed or the tenant pays the rent due in full before the notice period expires. Count from receipt/service and do not file before the full period runs.

Yes. This product is the Indiana 10-Day Notice to Quit for Nonpayment of Rent package for Indiana residential nonpayment situations when a statutory 10-day notice is required.
This Indiana product includes four editable Microsoft Word files: the 10-Day Notice to Quit for Nonpayment of Rent, Indiana Notice Instructions, Notice Service Record, and a #10 Mailing Envelope.
Yes. Ind. Code § 32-31-1-7 supplies statutory notice wording, and the served notice tracks that language. Complete the blanks and rent fields, but do not rewrite or improve the operative statutory sentence.
Use the Ind. Code § 32-31-1-9 service ladder: serve the tenant; if the tenant cannot be found, serve a person residing at the premises and explain the contents to that person; if no such person is found, affix a copy to a conspicuous part of the premises.
Mail or email alone is not statutory service for this Indiana notice. The #10 envelope is for backup records or lease-required mailing only, not as a substitute for the § 32-31-1-9 service ladder.
Yes. For ordinary nonpayment where the 10-day notice applies, the tenant may keep the lease from terminating on this notice by paying the rent due in full before the notice period expires. Count from receipt/service and do not file before the full period runs.
Not always. Ind. Code § 32-31-1-8 lists situations where notice is not necessary, and lease terms such as rent-in-advance or specified-term provisions can affect the analysis. Read the lease and confirm this notice is required before serving.
Demand rent actually due, less payments and credits. Do not include court costs, future rent, property damage, attorney fees, or other non-rent sums in the rent figure unless counsel confirms they belong there. Indiana has no statutory grace period; any grace period is lease-based or comes from another controlling rule.
No. The notice is a prefiling step, not a court order. If the tenant does not pay or vacate after proper service and the full period, the landlord may still need to file in the proper Indiana court with the lease, ledger, exact notice served, and proof of service. Do not use self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, or property removal.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing the completed notice, statutory wording, lease terms, rent ledger, Indiana service rules, federal or subsidized-housing overlays, and local court requirements before serving or relying on it.
