Unfortunately, you haven't provided enough information in order to give you a good answer. The first think I would want to know is where you live--what city? If you live in a rent-controlled premises in Los Angeles, you have a bad notice. If you live in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Beverly Hills, you may have a bad notice. If you live in Glendale you may have a bad notice.

What kind of notice is it? Is it a 3 day pay or quit? Is it a 60 day notice to vacate?

Generally speaking, you had better consult an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
