A special proceeding may be maintained after a _____ day NOTICE TO QUIT has been served upon the respondent.

• A. 5 days
• B. 14 days
• C. 7 days
• D. 10 days

Answer: (D)

In ejectment, you need to give the occupant a written notice to quit and wait a fixed period before you can file the case. That period is ten days, so a special proceeding to recover possession may be started only after ten days have elapsed following service of the notice to quit. This ten-day window gives the respondent a fair opportunity to vacate without immediate court action, while allowing the landlord to move quickly to court if eviction is still needed. The other day counts don’t apply because the rule sets ten days as the required timeframe.
