A 3-day notice may be issued by a landlord to a tenant who is late paying rent or has violated some other part of the Residential Lease Agreement. A 3-day notice may contain the following information:
The full name of the tenant(s).
The landlord's name, address, and telephone number.
The address of the rental property.
The reason the 3-day notice is being served. For example, behaviors that breached the lease or a failure to pay rent, including dates and a detailed description.
If the reason for the 3-day notice is for a failure to pay rent, it may include a statement that rent was not paid timely, and it may include the exact amount of rent due as well as when the payment is due.
A clear statement that if the issue is not resolved or rent is not paid, the tenant will have to move out once the three days have elapsed.
Following the proper procedures for creating and serving 3-day notices is very important, and the details may vary between different states and local governments. Ask a lawyer if you have questions about the specific requirements in your location.
