Yesterday the manager said that the owners wanted to serve us a 60-day notice because our rent has been late. My boyfriend has gotten another job so now we will be able to pay rent on time.

In California, rental owners need to omit late charges from their notices to pay rent or quit. Otherwise, the three-day notice may be ruled defective by the eviction court.

Q: Can a person be evicted for being late with the monthly rent? My daughter has been living in her complex for 11 years, and she is often late with her rent, which is due on the first of the month.
