In URLTA-adopting Kentucky jurisdictions, KRS 383.660 requires a 7-day written notice to pay or quit for nonpayment of rent. For other material lease violations, the landlord gives a 14-day termination notice with a 15-day window to cure. Outside URLTA areas, common-law forcible-detainer practice applies.
Kentucky's URLTA (KRS 383.500-.715) applies only in cities and counties that adopted it, such as Louisville and Lexington. Under KRS 383.660(2), if rent is unpaid the landlord may terminate only after written notice that the tenant has "seven (7) days" to pay before termination. For other material noncompliance, KRS 383.660(1) requires written notice stating the agreement "will terminate upon a date not less than fourteen (14) days after receipt of the notice," and the tenant avoids termination by remedying the breach within 15 days; a repeat of substantially the same violation within six months can be terminated on 14 days' notice without a further cure. Actual eviction is then pursued through the court forcible-detainer process; self-help lockouts are prohibited.
No specific statutory penalty for the notice itself. The landlord must use the court forcible-detainer process; self-help lockouts or utility shutoffs are unlawful and expose the landlord to tenant claims for damages and injunctive relief.
