Under Miss. Code section 89-8-13, a landlord evicting for nonpayment must serve written notice that the agreement will terminate if rent is not paid within 3 days. For other material breaches, the tenant generally receives a 30-day notice with a chance to cure before the tenancy may be ended.
Miss. Code section 89-8-13 governs terminating a tenancy for the tenant's breach. If the breach is nonpayment of rent, the landlord 'may deliver a notice in writing' (or by email or text if the tenant agreed in writing) specifying that the agreement 'will terminate if payment of such rent is not made within three (3) days.' For other material noncompliance, the statute uses a 30-day framework letting the tenant remedy the breach before termination. The statute does not say whether the 3-day count excludes weekends or holidays. If the tenant fails to pay within the 3 days, the landlord proceeds with a residential eviction in Justice Court, and may recover actual damages and reasonable attorney's fees.
No fixed statutory fine on the tenant beyond loss of possession. The landlord must use the 3-day nonpayment notice (or 30-day for-cause notice) and the Justice Court process; self-help lockouts are not authorized.
