3 Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit Prior to Eviction for Residential Property
76-1431. Noncompliance; failure to
pay rent; effect.
(1) Except as provided in sections 25-21,219
and 76-1401 to 76-1449, if there is a noncompliance with section 76-1421
materially affecting health and safety or a material noncompliance by
the tenant with the rental agreement or any separate agreement, the
landlord may deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying the acts
and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will
terminate upon a date not less than thirty 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 and his intention to terminate the rental agreement if the
rent is not paid within that period of time, the landlord may terminate
the rental agreement.
(3) Except as provided in sections 25-21,219
and 76-1401 to 76-1449, the landlord may recover damages and obtain injunctive
relief for any noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement or
section 76-1421. If the tenant's noncompliance is willful the landlord
may recover reasonable attorney's fees.
