3-Day Notice to Quit Applicability

Regardless of the county, a landlord can serve this notice if a tenant has committed or threatened to commit a violent act.[1] In those counties governed by the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, it can be used to evict an unauthorized subtenant or other unwanted occupant.

In non-URLTA counties, this notice may also be used for drug-related crimes.[2]
