For our second highlights video from CAA’s legislative recap webinar, we review six bills that failed in 2014.

Question: We have served our tenant a 60-day notice of termination of tenancy; however, the renter has quit paying the rent. Now we are preparing to send a three-day notice to pay rent or quit. What is the next step if the tenant doesn’t pay?
