My question involves an eviction in the state of: California
As of today I have not paid my rent this month, the property manager posted a 3-day notice indicated i owed $2,070.00 in rent. my monthly rent is $1385.00. so this charge included this month's rent, plus late charges, a portion of last months rent and the past due and current charges for water and sewer.
Since then I have been also been served a UD. I plan to respond and take this to court, I have the money to pay them, and I told them that I needed 1 more day but the filed anyways.
I read at www.express evictions.com regarding the 3-day notice.
"This notice is used when the tenant has failed to pay the full rent due. All tenants named in the rental agreement must be listed on the notice as well as the names of all other occupants, if known. The complete property address and county must be on the notice including the apartment number of the unit if applicable. The exact amount of rent must be demanded in the notice. This amount CANNOT include any additional charges for late charges, interest or and other penalties. If any charges other than rent are included on the 3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, California case law holds that the notice is defective and the Landlords case will be dismissed. Be sure to date and sign the notice and fill out a proof of service indicating the date and method of service."
Is this True?...
