Landlord notice deadlines — Arkansas
In Arkansas, the checked deadlines on this page cover: pay or quit, ending a tenancy. Each figure carries its statute and the stamp Rules checked October 2026. Run your exact dates through the checker — the period is only half the answer; the counting rule is the other half.
| Pay or quit | 3 calendar days — the tenant may pay and cure (Ark. Code § 18-60-304(3)). Civil track: 3-day written notice to quit for nonpayment; paying within the 3 days avoids the filing. Separate criminal track: a 10-day written notice to vacate under Ark. Code § 18-16-101, after which willful holdover is a misdemeanor fined $25 per day. |
|---|---|
| End a tenancy | 30 days — month-to-month (Ark. Code § 18-17-704). 30 days' written notice. 7 days — week-to-week (Ark. Code § 18-17-704). 7 days' written notice. |
| How days are counted | No Arkansas counting rule (weekend/holiday treatment, start day) was verified from a primary source for this dataset. |
| Just cause | No statewide just-cause requirement. |

Raising the rent: Arkansas sets no statutory notice period for a rent increase and no cap. Your lease is the whole contract — read its increase clause first.
Local rules sit on top of state law in many places — city just-cause lists, rent boards, and prescribed local forms. A state deadline is the floor of the analysis, never a promise that no local rule adds to it.
The paper that goes with the date
The checker gives you the date. The kit gives you the notices: pay or quit, non-renewal / termination, and rent increase letters generated from these same checked deadlines, a letter builder that fills in your dates and names, the move-in and move-out inspection checklists, and the proof-of-service checklist.
One-time payment. No subscription. The checker stays free either way.
