Indiana Code § 32-31-1-7 establishes an optional form of written notice that a landlord may use when a tenant has not paid rent. The notice informs the tenant that they must either pay the overdue rent or vacate the property within ten days of receiving it. This provision does not require landlords to use this exact form, but it provides a legally recognized template for initiating the nonpayment-of-rent process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ind. Code § 32-31-1-7, Indiana law provides landlords with a ready-made notice form to use when a tenant has failed or refused to pay rent. A compliant operator generally fills in the date, tenant's name, property description, and their own name, then delivers the notice to the tenant and retains a copy for their records. Using the statutory form helps ensure the notice meets the basic requirements recognized under Indiana law before any further legal steps are pursued.

Ind. Code § 32-31-1-7 sets out the form of notice a landlord may serve when rent has not been paid, giving tenants ten days from receipt to either pay the outstanding rent or vacate the property. Receiving this notice does not automatically end a tenancy — paying the rent in full within the ten-day window is one path available under the statute. Tenants who receive such a notice may benefit from reviewing their lease, documenting any payments made, and reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand the options available to them.
