The short answer
The required notice depends on the grounds, tenancy, property location and applicable programs. Do not choose a generic number of days until those facts and current rules are established.

Match notice to the issue
Nonpayment, a correctable breach, termination and other grounds may have different requirements. Verify whether notice is required, whether correction is allowed and what information must appear.
Calculate dates carefully
Check service rules, when counting begins, excluded days and any additional time. Use current official guidance and local counsel for the actual notice rather than a national template's default date.
Example: two different problems
An unpaid balance and a proposed end to a tenancy are not interchangeable notices. Identify the lawful objective and correct process instead of sending whichever form appears shorter.
