California Notice to Perform Covenant — Cur— - or Quit is a document used by a landlord to inform a tenant that they are in breach of their rental agreement. This document serves as a warning to the tenant that they must either rectify the breach (“cure”) or vacate the premises (“quit”). If the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord can then proceed with the legal eviction process. There are two types of California Notice to Perform Covenant — Cur— - or Quit: 3-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit and 30-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit. The 3-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit is applicable when the tenant has violated a "material" rental agreement term, such as failing to pay rent or engaging in illegal activities. The 30-Day Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit is applicable when the tenant has violated a "non-material" rental agreement term, such as having a pet when the lease does not allow it.
