A3-day written notice to pay or vacate✓ Correct
B7-day written notice to pay or vacate
C15-day written notice
D30-day written notice

Explanation

Florida's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (F.S. 83.56) requires a 3-day written notice (excluding weekends and legal holidays) for nonpayment of rent. The notice must demand payment or possession of the premises. Only after this notice period expires without payment or vacating may the landlord file an eviction action.
