Craig and Carrie Ventura Corner, LLC v. Knowz CA2/
Plaintiff Craig and Carrie Ventura Corner, LLC, (landlord) appeals from a grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant and respondent Joz Knowz, Inc. (tenant). The trial court ruled that the 3-day notice landlord served on tenant to initiate unlawful detainer proceedings failed to identify adequately the person to whom tenant should pay the late rent, as required by statute.
We conclude the 3-day notice was ambiguous, and could be read to identify at least two possible recipients for the unpaid rent, without making clear which was the correct recipient. It therefore did not strictly comply with the notice requirements of the unlawful detainer statutes, which were intended to prevent tenant confusion by setting forth clear rules regarding payment of rent. Accordingly, we affirm.
