3 Days Notice to Quit or Vacate

[ghunter]

I am not sure what because you must give a tenant 30 days notice to vacate.

If he broke the terms of the agreement by smoking I would guess this is an eviction notice of sorts.

Call a lawyer. Almost all of them give free 15-20 minute consultations. The lawyer can throw a court order at the landlord to be subpoenaed and drag this out until the landlord's lawyer cuts a deal. Then you can expect the landlord to be a d*ck after it is all over... but he'll also be afraid of being known as someone who pisses off renters... That's my experience with going to court for whatever reason. A good lawyer makes magic happen, and pick one that knows all the district judge personally...

It sounded like your friend is smoking inside his apartment. I am pretty sure he violated the rental agreement on his contract. It is a simple matter perhaps your friend will have to find another living arrangement where smoking is permitted in apartment. Or perhaps an apology to the landlord.
