Notice to Perform is a critical pre-litigation document in real estate disputes, often required before filing breach of contract or specific performance lawsuits.

Real estate litigators frequently need to draft notices to perform as a prerequisite to litigation and to establish proper documentation of breach and opportunity to cure.

Commercial Leasing90% relevant

Commercial landlords and their attorneys use notices to perform to address tenant defaults on lease obligations including rent payment, maintenance, and operational requirements.

Commercial leasing attorneys regularly draft notices to perform for tenant breaches, which follow similar legal requirements and formatting as residential notices but involve commercial lease terms.

Commercial real estate transactions require notices to perform when buyers or sellers fail to meet purchase agreement obligations such as due diligence deadlines, financing contingencies, or closing requirements.

Commercial real estate attorneys handle purchase agreement breaches that require formal notice to perform documentation, with state-specific cure periods and compliance requirements similar to residential transactions.

Commercial litigators use notices to perform in contract disputes involving real property or lease agreements to establish breach and provide opportunity to cure before litigation.

While broader than real estate-specific litigation, commercial litigation involving property-related contracts requires proper notice documentation to preserve legal remedies and demonstrate good faith compliance with contractual notice requirements.
