IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TENANT
This is a formal legal notice. It is the first step in the eviction process and does not by itself terminate your right to possession of the premises — only a court order can do that.
The landlord may not use "self-help" methods such as changing the locks, removing your belongings, or shutting off utilities to force you to leave. Such actions are illegal in every U.S. state.
If you believe this notice was served in error, or if you have a legal defense, you should consult with a licensed attorney or your local tenant rights organization promptly.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
This notice is governed by the landlord-tenant laws of the State of California.
This notice does not waive any other rights or remedies available to the landlord under the lease or applicable law.
State-Required Provisions
CALIFORNIA EVICTION NOTICE REQUIREMENTS (Cal. CCP § 1161): California law requires a written 3-day notice to pay or quit for nonpayment of rent. The notice must specify the exact amount of rent due, the name, address, and telephone number of the person to whom the rent payment shall be made, and the days and hours that person is available to receive payment.
CALIFORNIA TENANT PROTECTION ACT OF 2019 (AB 1482): For tenancies subject to AB 1482, the landlord must have "just cause" (fault or no-fault) to terminate a tenancy after the tenant has continuously occupied the property for 12 months or more. Special notice rules and relocation assistance may apply.
