Arkansas Eviction Notice
Before an Arkansas landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Arkansas’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.

Arkansas Eviction Notice FAQs
How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease in Arkansas?
Thirty days’ written notice from either party; a week-to-week tenancy needs 7 days (§18-17-704). There’s no separate rent-increase statute, so the same 30 days is the practical minimum to change rent on a month-to-month tenancy.
