Document background
The Three Day Notice To Pay Rent is a formal document used when tenants have fallen into rent arrears. While this terminology is borrowed from US practice, in England and Wales, such notices must conform to specific statutory requirements, typically requiring longer notice periods. The document should be used when rent is overdue and the landlord wishes to formally demand payment while preserving their legal rights. It must include precise details of the amount owed, payment deadline, and potential consequences of non-payment. This notice often serves as a prerequisite to further legal action and must comply with the Housing Act 1988 and related legislation.
