Correct language in a 30 Day Notice to Quit - MA

[Adam Levy]

Hi all, 

I'm probably going to have to give a tenant their notice this week since it doesn't look like things are going to work out.  I want to make sure I get the language right.  

In case it matters, the specifics of this situation is that I bought the house last month and gave them a couple weeks to review the lease and make a decision.  They were previously TAW, so the previous agreement disappeared 11/30. They've been stalling and I'm out of patience.  Can anyone advise how to properly word this since I don't want to be told in court that it wasn't written properly and isn't valid?  

Thanks.

Frankly speaking you should just hire an attorney for this as it would very likely need to be served in court and you cannot afford to take the risk of not serving her correctly. There's penalties such as triple damages involved, that, plus the cost of vacancy and unit repair is going to add up if you dont do it propertly.
