California Eviction Notice

California’s 3-day pay-or-quit is the usual nonpayment notice. Just-cause rules (AB 1482 and many cities) can block a no-fault termination. This paper is not an unlawful-detainer complaint. This generator builds a written California eviction notice (pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, end-of-term, or unconditional quit) around those deadlines. It is not a court summons, and it is not permission to change the locks.

Nonpayment notices are often 3 days.
A curable breach generally takes a 3-day notice to cure or quit (§ 1161(3)).
AB 1482 and many city ordinances require a lawful reason to terminate after the tenant has been there long enough.
