Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The notice must identify when the tenancy ends, set out the reasons for termination under the notice provision, and explain that failure to vacate may lead to an eviction application before the Rent Controller. It must inform the tenant of the right to dispute that application. Starting the process does not remove the tenant's opportunity to contest eviction.
