I don't know what state you live in but, in general, the answer is no.
There has to be an acknowledgement of the notice (and the time frame varies from state to state, most are 30 days) which means the tenant must acknowledge receipt of the notice.
Hence, most eviction notices are served in person or by certified mail.

He has to put it on your door. It will say three to ten days to leave. If you are not out, he has to get an eviction notice notorized by the court and will be sent to you via certified mail. You will get a court date. He has to pay money for all this so you can drag it out for months. You each can ask for a continuance. Just move before he has a chance to send you certified mail and the court should throw it out because you already moved and he paid that money for nothing. Go to your city building inspector office and get a copy of Lanlord/Tenant rights and go from there. If he's a shotty landlord that won't fix anything, call the health department for an inspection and stick it to him before he tries to stick it to you!

I doubt it.
I would make enquiries to your local tenancy information office to find out what your rights are under the relevant Residential Tenancies Act. I don't know which country you are in; but unless you have done something fairly serious to warrant such action - you do have rights.
I don't believe sending an email constitutes issuing an eviction notice 'in writing'...but again, that is something you will need to cover with someone in a department who can give you up to date information about the tenancy legislation in your area.

If you haven't been paying the rent, and he's getting fed up, and wants to boot you out, then he may have just done it so there would be an electronic record of him giving you the eviction notice.
I'm willing to bet that he has probably already contacted you some other way to try to get his money.

No it must be in writing and signed by a judge. He can give you notice that he is seeking an eviction but he must go to court to get a legal eviction.

If you signed a lease that allows for a three day period and e-mail as the medium, then, yes. But most landlords whoa re not slumlords or scumbags, and have not been force to it, will give at least 30 days WRITTEn notice.

NO! You didn't see it. It has to be served. And not 3 days!

You should print that out, and show it in court, when the process finish, he suppose to serve those papers to you, think about how many people don't check the emails in the regular basis, he don't suppose to do that.

No, you are required to have 30 day notice and it must be hand written and mailed or delivered to you directly.

our landlord has to give us written notice and 30 days I'm thinking they all have to do that
