Legal Question in Business Law in California

Lease Law

Hi, if I cannot make my rent and the landlord gives a paper saying I have to come up with the difference in 5 days or quit (it is not an eviction notice), can I just leave the business without any further obligations? What does the law say about the equipment and furnitures in the store that I bought and put into the business?
