How do I fill out a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit in California? Here is a step by step guide:
- Enter the tenant’s full name, and include a note that says, “and all other occupants.” This will help protect you if a third party claims tenancy.
- Enter the exact property address. This should match the rental agreement.
- Include the amount of past-due rent. Do not include late fees. Make sure to itemize the rent due if more than 1 month is past-due (for example – June 2015: $800 due, July 2015: $800 due). Note: You can only go back a total of one year of unpaid rent on the 3 day notice.
- Include a notation stating what day of the month the rent is due, and what the monthly rent is.
- Include the landlord/agent’s name, address, and telephone number.
- Specify how payment is to be made, including dates/times when payment will be accepted.
- Sign your name and date the form.
- Properly serve the 3 day notice.
- Make copies for yourself and complete a proof of service.
