West Virginia Notice to Pay Rent or Quit Template
What a West Virginia notice to pay rent or quit must include under West Virginia law, and a fill-in draft that follows those rules.
What West Virginia law requires
No statutory pre-filing notice is required for nonpayment; the landlord may file a verified petition for summary relief in magistrate or circuit court (the lease may require notice). After filing, the tenant must be served with notice of the hearing.
Source: W. Va. Code § 55-3A-1
Fill-in draft
Replace every [bracketed] item. If your state or city requires specific wording, a specific form, or a translated version, that requirement controls over this draft. Courts dismiss eviction cases over defective notices — if anything is unclear, talk to a lawyer.
