Including late fees in the 3-day notice amount

The 3-day notice should only include the base rent owed. Including late fees, utilities, or other charges can invalidate the notice. Pursue those amounts separately after regaining possession.

Not being specific about the violation

Vague descriptions like “lease violation” or “disturbing the peace” can get the case dismissed. Describe the specific violation, the lease section violated, and the dates it occurred.

Using 7-day unconditional quit for a first-time curable violation

The 7-day unconditional quit can only be used for repeated violations (within 12 months of a prior notice) or truly irreparable breaches. First-time curable violations must use the 7-day notice to cure.

Posting without mailing

If you use the post-and-mail method, you must do both. Posting the notice on the door without also mailing a copy is insufficient service and will result in dismissal.
