California Eviction Notice
The 3-day notice to pay or quit.
Eviction in California starts with a notice to the tenant. This form gives you the 3-day notice to pay rent or quit the premises, with the fields a California notice needs, ready to fill in and serve.
What this notice is for
The most common way a California eviction begins is the 3-day notice: the tenant has a set number of days to pay the rent owed or move out.
This form structures that notice — the tenant, the property, the amount due and the service record — so it is complete before it is served.
Key parts
- The tenant and the property
- The rent amount and the period it covers
- The three days allowed to pay or quit
- The service date and method
- The landlord's signature

These notices are starting structures for you to fill in yourself, not legal advice. Eviction rules are strict and vary by state — anything you rely on should be reviewed by someone qualified in the relevant place.
