*By purchasing a template, you acknowledge that you have read and understood ContractsCounsel's Terms of Use.

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.

On ContractsCounsel, you can purchase a California 3-day notice to vacate for serious lease violations template that covers key terms and legally protects your property. It takes the pressure off having to draft the letter when time is of the essence and you need to take action.

Why Purchase a California 3-Day Notice to Vacate for Serious Lease Violations Template?

ContractsCounsel’s template makes it easy for landlords to maintain their rights and evacuate renters who are in serious breach of their lease. It’s:

  • Drafted by professionals. Vetted, skilled lawyers on the platform have drafted the notice letter so that it’s comprehensive and clear.
  • Editable. You can change the information in the template so it’s tailored to your situation.
  • Downloadable. Once you purchase it on ContractsCounsel, you’ll receive the template as a download.

If you want the evacuation notice letter template reviewed by a lawyer, you can hire the same lawyer on the platform who drafted it.

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.
