Landlord Tenant Law & 3-Day Notices in Los Angeles

The four biggest mistakes I’ve seen.

  1. Failure to upload the notice with the Los Angeles Housing Department. It is important to upload the notice within five days of notice with the LAHD through their website.

The other three have to do with language within the notice.

  1. You must state the number of bedrooms within the 3-day notice. Failure to do that will also render the notice defective, which will also cause you issues with evictions down the line.
  2. There must be language within the notice that will forfeit the lease agreement.If there’s no language in the notice forfeiting the lease agreement, that will also render it defective.
  3. The notice period: There must be language within the 3-day notice that states the notice period. For example, it must state that it excludes weekend and judicial holidays.
