California Three Day Notice – Content Required for 3 Day Notice

What content must be included in a 3 Day Notice in California when a tenant stops paying the rent?

The 3 Day Notice in California must:

  • Be in writing;
  • Say the full name of the tenant or tenants;
  • Say the address of the rental property;
  • Say exactly how much rent the tenant owes (the notice cannot go back more than 1 year, even if the tenant owes back rent for a longer time, and it cannot include any charge other than rent);
  • Have the dates the overdue rent is for;
  • Say that this rent must be paid in full within 3 days of receiving this notice or the tenant must move out;
  • Say the days and times the tenant can pay the rent he or she owes, and the address he or she can pay it at;
  • If the tenant can pay the back rent by mail, give the address the tenant should send the money to; and
  • Be signed by the landlord or his or her agent, and state the date of the notice.

* The notice must NOT include other money the tenant owes, like late fees, interest, utilities, or damages.
