(1)Except as provided in KRS 383.505 to 383.715, if there is a material

noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement or a material noncompliance

with KRS 383.605 or 383.610, the landlord may deliver a written notice to the

tenant specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental

agreement will terminate upon a date not less than fourteen

(14)days after receipt of

the notice. If the breach is not remedied in fifteen

(15)days, the rental agreement

shall terminate as provided in the notice subject to the following. If the breach is

remediable by repairs or the payment of damages or otherwise and the tenant

adequately remedies the breach before the date specified in the notice, the rental

agreement shall not terminate. If substantially the same act or omission which

constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice was given recurs within six

months, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement upon at least fourteen

days' written notice specifying the breach and the date of termination of the rental

agreement.

(2)If rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to pay rent within seven

(7)days after

written notice by the landlord of nonpayment and his intention to terminate the

rental agreement if the rent is not paid within that period, the landlord may

terminate the rental agreement.

(3)Except as provided in KRS 383.505 to 383.715, the landlord may recover damages

and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the tenant with the rental

agreement or KRS 383.605 or 383.610. If the tenant's noncompliance is willful the

landlord may recover actual damages and reasonable attorney's fees.
