If you incorrectly fill out the Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, you may invalidate it. General: l. A Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit should be served on a Resident once the rent is past due.

3 This document must be filled out correctly as it will become part of the court's records. If it is necessary to go to court to seek an eviction (also called an UNLAWFUL DETAINER action), an improperly filled out form will most likely cause the case to be dismissed. 2. If the rent falls due on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, the law extends the time of payment through the next business day. The rent is not legally due except on a regular business day. The Resident is not in default until the day after the rent is due. Service of the Three-Day Notice prior to invalid. Preparation of the form: 1. Resident name(s) List the names of all the persons named in the rental agreement in the same manner that they are given on the rental agreement. List all other adult persons residing on the premises. List complete names and aliases (also known as, aka).

To cover any unknown persons in possession of the premises, the Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit has hard coated the words "INCLUDING ALL UNKNOWN OCCUPANTS".. 2. Property Address Be certain the address is correct. If the address is incorrect, you will most likely not be able to evict the ,Resident(s) until you serve a correct Three Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit. 3.
