Notice to Tenant
I am in default on my lease payment for rental property. Because this is a lease, not a month to month tenancy, does my landlord only have to give me a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit? Is a 30 day notice to vacate also required? I was laid off from my job of 3 years. I have been a model tenant..prior to this point. I just received an unlawful detainer-eviction summons.
Thank-you

Re: Notice to Tenant
There is no 30 day notice required when the reason for eviction is non-payment of rent. You should try to negotiate with the landloard, but unless there are serious problems with the building, they are within their rights.
