If the rent is paid by occupant's sister who is not a tenant, should the 3-day notice be issued to whom?
How to Legally Get Your Unpaid Rent in 2025
Your rent is paid by an occupant, tenant's sister. She signs paperwork admitting that paying rent doesn't make her a tenant. So I think the sister is paying on behalf of the occupant. So in this case, if a three-day notice is to be issued, should it be issued to the tenant or to the tenant's sister who is paying the rent?

I always advise that you name the tenant on the lease, and then anyone else who may be there, and then there's a catch-all. And when I send a process server out to serve a notice to pay rent or quit, we serve two copies. One is to the named tenant, and the second is to anyone else who may be occupying the property.
