5 days nonpayment notice.
Nonpayment requires a 5-business-day notice; lease violations require a 10-day cure notice. Month-to-month tenancies require 45 days' notice from the landlord.
What this means for you: Paying within the 5-day window stops a nonpayment eviction.
Your next step: Note the 5-business-day deadline and pay if you can.
