5 days nonpayment notice.
Nonpayment requires a 5-day notice to pay or quit (or a 14-day no-cure notice for repeat issues). Month-to-month tenancies end on 28 days' notice.
What this means for you: Paying within 5 days stops a nonpayment eviction in most cases.
Your next step: Note the 5-day deadline and pay if you can.
