I got a 3-day notice taped to my door. Do I have to leave?

Customer

The landlord says I have 3 days to pay $2,400 or get out. I signed a 12-month lease in June.

Answer A · judged blind

Pay the full amount or move out within 3 days; otherwise the landlord can evict you.

Before I answer: what date was it served, and how — taped to the door only, or also mailed? Does the notice state more than the rent?

✎ Question reshaped

Customer

Taped on March 3, nothing by mail. It says $2,400 plus a $150 late fee.

Attorney

Nobody can remove you without a court judgment — the AI skipped that. And a notice that demands a late fee on top of rent may be defective. Your real question is whether this notice is valid at all.

1–5 each. Model names stay hidden until the letter is signed, so the judge cannot favour a brand.

What I checked

A 3-day pay-or-quit notice in California: service, amount, timing.

What I could not check from here

The lease text, prior late payments, whether the unit is rent-controlled.

The question you must answer before deciding

Is the amount on the notice rent only, and was it served in a way the statute allows?

My verdict

Do not move out on the notice alone. Keep the notice, photograph the door, and have the amount checked before the 3 days run.
