Got a 3-Day or 5-Day Eviction Notice? Here’s What to Do Fast
A Real Tenant Example:
Consider Angela from Nevada. She came home from work to find a 5-Day Notice to Pay or Quit taped to her door. She had just lost hours at her job and couldn’t pay the full rent.
Panicked, she thought her landlord could force her out in just five days. Instead of waiting, she contacted Eviction Guardian. Within 12 hours, we sent her the exact documents she needed to respond in court. That filing forced her landlord into the courtroom, buying her weeks of extra time and giving her leverage to work out a payment plan.

Got a 3-Day or 5-Day Eviction Notice? Here’s What to Do Fast
The Shock of a 3-Day or 5-Day Eviction Notice
You come home, check your door, and there it is: a 3-day or 5-day eviction notice from your landlord. Suddenly, you’ve got only days to “pay or quit,” and panic sets in.
Most tenants don’t realize it yet, but that piece of paper is only the beginning of the eviction process and not the end. You still have rights and time to act, but every day you wait puts you closer to losing your home.
What a 3-Day or 5-Day Notice Really Means
Depending on your state, a landlord must first give you a notice to cure or quit before they can even file in court. Common types include:
3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit – Pay the rent or move out in three days.
5-Day Notice to Quit – Demands you leave for lease violations or unpaid rent.
If you don’t respond in time, your landlord can file an official eviction case in court. Once that happens, you’ll get a summons, court date, and possibly a judgment against you.
But here’s the thing: landlords often rely on tenants freezing up and doing nothing. That’s what allows them to win by default.
Why Tenants Struggle at This Stage
A lot of tenants think: “I’ll just explain my side to the judge.” Unfortunately, that’s not how eviction court works. Judges look for proper filings, responses, and defenses in writing. Without them, the landlord almost always wins even if they’re in the wrong.
If you miss deadlines, use the wrong forms, or don’t include defenses, your case may be thrown out, and the eviction will move forward.
