three-day notice

A quick definition of three-day notice:

Three-day notice: A notice given to tenants who have not paid their rent, telling them to either pay or leave the property. The notice must be given in a specific way, usually by delivering it in person or posting it on the property. It must also include certain information, like how much rent is owed and where to pay it. If the tenant does not pay or leave within three days, the landlord can take legal action to evict them. However, the tenant may still owe rent even if they leave, until the landlord finds a new tenant or agrees to waive the rent.

A more thorough explanation:

In landlord-tenant law, a three-day notice is a notice given to tenants who have not paid their rent. The notice demands that the tenant either pay the rent owed or leave the property. Proper service is required when issuing a three-day notice, and different jurisdictions have different guidelines for what constitutes proper service.

In California, a three-day notice can be delivered in three ways:

  1. By delivering a copy to the tenant personally
  2. If the tenant is not at home or work, by leaving a copy with someone of suitable age and discretion at either place and sending a copy through the mail to the tenant's residence
  3. If the tenant's residence and business cannot be found, by affixing a copy in a conspicuous place on the property and delivering a copy to a person residing there, as well as sending a copy through the mail to the tenant at the property

Mailing a three-day notice to the tenant alone is not enough and will make the notice unenforceable.

A three-day notice is usually the first step in a detainer action. In some states, like California, Ohio, and Texas, a valid three-day notice is required before a landlord can file a forcible entry and detainer suit. However, if the notice does not meet the service or information requirements, it is invalid and cannot support a landlord's claim for possession.

It is important to note that a three-day notice does not necessarily eliminate a tenant's obligation to pay rent for the rest of the lease term. In Ohio, for example, a tenant may still be liable for rent until the landlord finds a new tenant. However, if the landlord accepts future rental payments, a previously issued three-day notice is automatically waived, and any subsequent action for possession based on that notice is also waived.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
