THREE DAY NOTICE FOR NON-PAYMENT OF RENT: A three-day notice must list every adult living on the premises along with the proper address of the property. If names are unknown, they may be listed as unknown tenants. The three-day notice gives the tenant(s) an option to pay up or vacate the premises. The amount stated on the notice can only include back Rent. No late fees or damages may be added. The tenant(s) must be given three full working days (excluding weekends, holidays and date of service) and this must be stated on the notice in the "on or before date" section. The notice MUST be signed and DATED to show the courts when service was made and specified as to the "type" of service. This would be either by posting or mailing the notice. This will determine the validity of the three-day notice and further actions by the court.
