However, there are some lease violations that are deemed “non-curable.” These non-curable violations require a 3-Day Notice to Quit. Tenants cannot fix the violation and are required to move out by the end of 3 days.

Non-curable lease violations include:

Engaging in criminal activity

Being a nuisance on the rental property

Hosting an illegal or unlawful business

Creating harmful waste

In the case of illegal activity, a landlord is not legally obligated to give tenants a written notice. A landlord may proceed directly to the next step in the eviction process.

Illegal activity includes:

Physical assault that leads to an arrest

Possession and/or firing of an illegal firearm

Involvement in the creation, distribution, or consumption of a controlled substance
