KRS 383.660, 383.695KRS 383.660, 383.6957 days (KRS 383.660, 383.695). Your lease can require more notice than the statute, never less.
A lease can lengthen the period. Whether it can shorten it depends on the state — Kentucky's rule is above; when the lease is silent, the statutory period applies.
From the day after delivery, and the notice should state the deadline as a date. Where Kentucky counts business or judicial days, weekends and court holidays are skipped.
You file the eviction in the local court. Filing before the notice period ends gets the case dismissed, so keep the delivery date.
Only if the lease agrees to electronic delivery; otherwise use hand delivery, mail or posting where Kentucky permits it. The in-app notice emails the tenant and logs it, and prints for hand delivery.
