Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
My annoying tenant
My annoying residential tenant is late on the rent - after they pay the rent, can I still serve a 3-day notice for the late fee ($50)? No rent control, City & County of Los Angeles. Would be happy to have them gone, no worries there. Thank you!

Re: My annoying tenant
Why not wait until next month. If they don't pay when the rent is due, serve them with the 3-day notice on the next day. If they don't pay within 3 days, then file your unlawful detainer and don't accept their rent. I guess, in a roundabout way, I'm saying that the late fee might not get you the court relief you want.
