How many days does a tenant get to pay late rent in Arkansas?
In Arkansas, a landlord must give 3 days written notice to vacate before filing a nonpayment eviction. It is a notice to leave rather than a demand to pay. This is Ark. Code §§ 18-17-704(b), 18-60-304.
| What | Arkansas |
|---|---|
| Notice before a nonpayment case | 3 days |
| What the notice demands | Leave — a notice to vacate |
Notes
Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with written notice at least 30 days before the termination date. For nonpayment, the unlawful-detainer statute requires three days' written notice to quit and a demand for possession before a case can be brought. No entry-notice or rent-increase notice period is published here.
