Can the landlord give more than one notice at the same time?

Sometimes. For example, if the tenant is always late with the rent, a landlord can serve a "3-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit" and a "30-Day Notice to Quit" at the same time.

If the tenant does not pay the rent within 3 days of receiving the 3-Day Notice, the landlord can file an unlawful detainer after the 3-day period ends. Even if the tenant pays the rent within the 3-day period, s/he must still move out in 30 days. If the tenant doesn't move out after the 30 days, then the landlord has to file an unlawful detainer.
