in a month to month tenancy can a landlord require you to be out in three days?

Only if you did not pay rent.

Normally you are given a 3 day notice to quit or pay up. This is not an eviction notice, this is a notice to tell you to do what you are suppose to do or the landlord will take the action to the next level and that is an eviction notice.

Normally on a month to month tenancy both the landlord and the tenant would be required to give each a 30 day notice before moving or being asked to move.

Eviction notices are normally signed by a judge or court commissioner. Then served on the tenant, by a law enforcement agency.

Check your state laws as each might have a minor difference.

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

No. 30 days notice to vacate is required. The 3 day notice is a pay or quit notice b/c you didn't pay your rent.
