Document background
An Eviction Notice is a crucial legal document used in Hong Kong's property market when a landlord needs to formally terminate a tenancy and require the tenant to vacate the premises. The document must strictly comply with the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance of Hong Kong, including specific statutory notice periods and prescribed formats. This notice is typically used in situations involving rent arrears, breach of tenancy terms, or when the landlord requires possession for personal use. The Eviction Notice must clearly state the grounds for eviction, provide adequate notice period as required by law, and include all necessary details about the property and parties involved. It serves as the first formal step in the legal process of recovering possession of a property and may be required as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings.
