A 3-day notice is a written legal document that landlords send to tenants they want to evacuate due to serious lease violations. It’s an important letter that needs to be drafted properly so you don’t risk problems or legal troubles at a later stage.

What the Template Contains
Here are some of the key aspects included in the letter:
Description of the Violation(s)
In the template, you’ll write a short description of the violation that has led to a need for evacuation. The notice letter mentions specific codes, fortifying that the landlord has valid grounds for this request.
3-Day Evacuation
The notice states that the renter needs to leave the property within three days from the date on which they are served the notice. It’s important to note that this doesn’t include weekends and judicial holidays.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
This section outlines what happens if the renter doesn’t comply with the evacuation notice, such as legal action. Depending on the law, the landlord might also be able to claim for damages, lawyer fees, and court litigation costs.
How to Fill out the California 3-Day Notice to Vacate for Serious Lease Violations Template
- Step 1: At the start of the notice, the landlord will fill out personal details: their full name, address (including city, state, ZIP code), phone number, and the name of the person who the evacuation notice is addressing. They will also write the date.
- Step 2: Specify the lease violation. Include the date when it happened and any other specific details.
- Step 3: The landlord will sign at the bottom of the notice and include the date and their printed name.
- Step 4: To answer how they served the notice to the tenant, the landlord will tick the appropriate box: either they personally delivered it, they left a copy with someone on the premises and mailed a copy to the tenant at the premises, or they posted a copy of the notice on the premises in a conspicuous place and mailed a copy to the tenant at the premises.
- Step 5: The landlord will include the date of service, the signature of the server, and the name of the server.
