LAURA DENVER STITH, Judge.
Edward Kenney appeals the trial court’s judgment against him and in favor of plaintiffs John and Una Davidson for $5,121.00 in an unlawful detainer action. He argues that the trial court erred in entering judgment for the Davidsons because his tenancy had not *897been lawfully terminated in that he did not receive timely notice of the termination. We agree that recovery for unlawful detainer was not warranted because Mr. Kenney did not receive the required notice of termination, and we, therefore, reverse. However, because the Davidsons have stated facts entitling them to recover past-due rent and damages, we remand to allow them to amend their pleadings to assert such a claim. I.
