days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in fourteen
days, and the rental agreement shall terminate as provided in the notice
subject to the following: If the breach is remediable by repairs
or the payment of damages or otherwise and the tenant adequately
remedies the breach prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental
agreement will not terminate. If substantially the same act or omission
which constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice was given recurs
within six months, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement upon
at least fourteen days' written notice specifying the breach and the date
of termination of the rental agreement.
(2) If rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to pay
rent within three days after written notice by the landlord of nonpayment

paid within that period of time, the landlord may terminate the rental
agreement.

recover reasonable attorney's fees.
