Indiana requirement
Indiana requires a 0-day unconditional quit notice. IC 32-31-1-8 (primary text confirmed) lists six situations where NO notice is required to terminate (0 days): (1) the landlord agreed to rent for a specified period of time; (2) the time for determination of the tenancy is specified in the contract; (3) a tenant at will commits waste; (4) the tenant is a tenant at sufferance (holdover after the term/lease ends); (5) the contract requires rent in advance and the tenant refuses/neglects to pay it in advance; (6) no landlord-tenant relationship exists. Indiana does NOT have a separate statutory 'illegal activity / repeat violation' unconditional-quit notice (no fixed day count); severe-conduct removals run through the lease and the ejectment statute. So 0 = immediate/no notice only for the IC 32-31-1-8 situations.

Unconditional Quit Notice (Indiana)
UNCONDITIONAL QUIT NOTICE
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that, because of the following: [state the specific serious or repeated violation / illegal activity, with dates and facts], your tenancy is terminated. You are required to vacate and surrender possession of the property as required by law. This notice does not give an opportunity to cure.
IMPORTANT: An unconditional (no-cure) notice is valid only for the serious or non-curable grounds your state specifically allows. Confirm this situation qualifies — otherwise a notice that gives a chance to cure may be required.
Because Indiana does not require a fixed pre-filing notice period for this situation, the landlord may file for eviction. You can stop the case by paying or correcting the problem, plus any court costs, before the court enters judgment.
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.
How this notice may be served: IC 32-31-1-9 (primary text confirmed): notice required under sections 1 through 7 may be served on the tenant. If the tenant cannot be found, it may be served on a person residing at the premises, and the server must explain the contents of the notice to that person. If no such person is found on the premises, notice may be served by affixing (posting) a copy to a conspicuous part of the premises. Court practice (small-claims/possession) commonly uses certified mail and/or sheriff service for the subsequent court summons.
