this paper that was given to me was not from the courts. It appears to be a form a stationary store.

Some areas require that a landlord give you a pay up or vacate notice before they file in court for eviction based upon non-payment. This is probably the case in your area, otherwise your landlord would have just filed with the court straight away.
If you don't pay or make payment arrangements, you will be taken to court.

A landlord can issue a demand for rent in arrears at any time the rent falls deliquent. It does not have to be on a specific form so long as the general verbiage required by the law is in the cotent of the notice. This is the first stage in evictions. If you fail to comply with the notice, the landlord will go to court for an evicition (usually takes about 30 days) and for a money judgement agst you. Better pay up soon!

You don't say what state you are in. In many states, such as Florida, a landlord must give a tenant three days written notice to pay overdue rent or vacate the premises, before an eviction suit may be filed. That appears to be what you have received. If you don't pay the rent or move out, the next thing you receive will be an eviction summons from the court.

Well it is probably just a threat. Your landlords probably didnt feel like paying any court fees etc. Is there viable reason for this threat? If so then what you want to do is to start packing before there is a law suit and start paying anything that you may owe before it gets to court and then made as a judgement on your credit.

The 3 Day Notice is supposed to be from your landlord. The landlord can't get a court order unless he has already served you a 3-Day notice.
You have to get out, or pay up. If you don't, then he'll get the courts involved and believe me, you DON'T want that to be on your record forever.......unless you want to live in your car.

Depending on your state and any lease, it is normally a 30 days notice. But it takes an actual court order to get you out and it could end up costing you a lot of $$$. I would pay up or give them your 30 days notice.

Buncha crap. You have to be given a letter of eviction from the courts. And they usually give you 30 days, but if you procrastinate with court dates, you can get away with 90 days to vacate.

A 3-day notice does not go thru court. An eviction filing, a writ, a hold-over, these things are filed thru court.
