3 days nonpayment notice.
Nonpayment requires a 3-day notice to pay or quit; lease violations generally require a 14-day cure notice. Month-to-month tenancies end on 30 days' notice.
What this means for you: Paying within 3 days stops a nonpayment eviction.
Your next step: Note the 3-day deadline and pay if you can.
