Kentucky URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment
Download the Kentucky URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent for residential nonpayment only where Kentucky URLTA has been locally adopted, or where Kentucky counsel or local court practice confirms KRS 383.660(2) is the correct notice. This is not a statewide Kentucky eviction notice, and the seven days run from tenant receipt.
This Kentucky URLTA packet helps document the local-adoption gate, rent-only cure amount, KRS 383.560 receipt-based service, waiver risks, and records a landlord should keep before deciding whether a forcible-detainer filing is the next step.
Built around KRS 383.660(2) for residential nonpayment in URLTA jurisdictions, with fields for tenant and property details, rent actually due, receipt date, seven-day deadline, and landlord records.
All four files are editable Microsoft Word documents. Serve only the URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent, and keep the instructions, service record, and envelope as landlord companion records.
Use the instructions and service record to verify URLTA/local practice before use and document in-hand or registered/certified-mail receipt; do not treat door posting as service.
This product includes four editable Microsoft Word files: the URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent to serve, Notice Instructions and Records, Notice Service Record, and #10 Mailing Envelope. Serve only the tenant notice; keep the other files as landlord guidance and records.
Self-help notice overview
Important Kentucky URLTA limitation: this packet is for residential nonpayment only where the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act has been locally adopted, or where Kentucky counsel or local court practice confirms KRS 383.660(2) is the correct notice. It is not a statewide Kentucky eviction notice.
The tenant-facing document to serve is the URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent. The instructions-and-records file, service record, and envelope are landlord companion files to help verify URLTA applicability, document receipt, and keep records; they do not replace or supplement the served notice unless counsel directs otherwise.
Service is receipt-based under KRS 383.560: in-hand delivery or registered/certified mail to the tenant’s designated address or last known residence. Do not list door-posting or tacking as service, and count the seven days from receipt, not from mailing or posting.

Quick answer
Use this Kentucky URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent only for residential nonpayment where URLTA has been locally adopted, or where Kentucky counsel or local court practice confirms KRS 383.660(2) is the correct notice. It is not a statewide Kentucky eviction notice. The seven days run from receipt-based written notice under KRS 383.560, not door-posting.
Kentucky’s seven-day nonpayment notice in KRS 383.660(2) is part of URLTA. KRS 383.500 authorizes local governments to adopt URLTA in its entirety; it does not make URLTA automatic statewide.
The packet includes a “can I use this?” gate and URLTA verification records. If the rental premises is not in an adopting jurisdiction, or if adoption is uncertain, the user should confirm the lease, local court practice, and counsel advice before serving this notice.
For URLTA notices to a tenant, KRS 383.560 focuses on receipt: notice comes to the tenant’s attention, is delivered in hand to the tenant, or is mailed by registered or certified mail to the tenant’s designated receipt place or last known residence.
Do not list posting, door-slipping, or tacking as the service method for this packet unless Kentucky counsel or a controlling local rule confirms it. The #10 envelope is for registered/certified mailing support and records.

No. This is a Kentucky URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent package. Use it only where the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act has been locally adopted, or where Kentucky counsel or local court practice confirms KRS 383.660(2) is the correct notice.
This Kentucky product includes four editable Microsoft Word files: the URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent, Notice Instructions and Records, Notice Service Record, and a #10 Mailing Envelope.
Serve only the completed URLTA 7-Day Notice of Nonpayment of Rent. The instructions, records checklist, service record, and envelope are landlord companion materials for completing, mailing, documenting, and retaining records.
Check whether the city, county, or urban-county government where the rental premises is located has adopted URLTA under KRS 383.500. The packet includes a step-by-step URLTA-verification section: use the rental property address, check the local code, contact the District Court clerk for the county where a forcible-detainer case would be filed, or ask Kentucky counsel, then document what you checked in the included confirmation record. Online lists can be stale, so do not guess.
For this URLTA packet, the seven-day nonpayment period is tied to written notice under KRS 383.660(2) and receipt-based notice rules in KRS 383.560. Document when notice came to the tenant’s attention, was delivered in hand, or was sent by registered/certified mail to the proper address.
Do not treat door-posting or tacking as the listed URLTA service method for this packet unless Kentucky counsel or a controlling local rule confirms it. KRS 383.560 focuses on actual attention, in-hand delivery to the tenant, or registered/certified mail to the proper address.
Demand rent actually due, less payments and credits. Keep late fees, utilities, attorney fees, court costs, property damage, and other non-rent charges separate unless Kentucky counsel confirms they belong in the rent figure.
It can. KRS 383.675 says accepting rent with knowledge of a tenant default can waive the landlord’s right to terminate for that breach unless otherwise agreed after the breach. Use a written post-breach agreement or get counsel advice before accepting rent if eviction remains possible.
No. If unpaid after proper notice and the full period, the landlord may still need to file a forcible-detainer complaint in Kentucky District Court, obtain a judgment, and request a warrant for possession. A notice is not a court order, and KRS 383.655 bars self-help lockouts, exclusion, and essential-service interruption.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. You are responsible for reviewing the completed notice, local URLTA adoption, lease terms, rent ledger, KRS 383.560 service facts, federal or subsidized-housing overlays, and local court requirements before serving or relying on it.
