What is the 3-Day Notice used for?
A 3-Day Notice to Quit (PDF draft provided at the end) is used in California by a landlord as the final notice before eviction of a tenant from a leased rental unit. This notice informs a tenant no further possibility of staying in their unit is possible, and they have three days to pay past due rent; otherwise, the landlord will file a case in court (usually an unlawful detainer action in Superior Court).
This form is typically sent after a 3-Day Notice to Perform or Quit, meaning it's a second notice that has to be served to the tenant.
