Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Please explain what happens after 3 day notice to Pay or Quit...

What is the reason given for the notice? Wanting to sell is not good grounds for a 3 day notice. If residential, they need to give a 30 day notice, in general.

If you have been there 14 years, you may be entitled to 60 days notice if it has been a month-to-month. If you were on a fixed-term least that expired, you aren't entitled to notice.

However, nack to the 3-day notice to pay or quit. This is an assertion that you are in arrears on rent payments. If not, try to negotiate with the landlord. If that doesn't work, the next step will be that you are served with an unlawful detainer lawsuit. If there are no grounds to evict you, i.e., you have paid the rent on time, you can win the suit.

However, the process is a mystery, and the landlord may be a novice who doesn't understand the law. Ordinarily you would be given a 30-day or 60-day notice, not one based on a breach of the rental agreement like a 3-day notice to pay or quit.

I'd see a local real estate lawyer for an initial consultation, at least, if attempting to reason with the landlord doesn't work.
