(b) when, having leased real property for an indefinite time with monthly or other periodic rent reserved:

(i) he continues in possession of it in person or by subtenant after the end of any month or period, in cases where the owner, his designated agent, or any successor in estate of the owner, 15 days or more prior to the end of that month or period, has served notice requiring him to quit the premises at the expiration of that month or period; or

(ii) in cases of tenancies at will, where he remains in possession of the premises after the expiration of a notice of not less than five days;

(c) when he continues in possession, in person or by subtenant, after default in the payment of any rent and after a notice in writing requiring in the alternative the payment of the rent or the surrender of the detained premises, has remained uncomplied with for a period of three days after service, which notice may be served at any time after the rent becomes due;

(d) when he assigns or sublets the leased premises contrary to the covenants of the lease, or commits or permits waste on the premises, or when he sets up or carries on any unlawful business on or in the premises, or when he suffers, permits, or maintains on or about the premises any nuisance, including nuisance as defined in Section 78-38-9, and remains in possession after service upon him of a three days' notice to quit; or

(e) when he continues in possession, in person or by subtenant, after a neglect or failure to perform any condition or covenant of the lease or agreement under which the property is held, other than those previously mentioned, and after notice in writing requiring in the alternative the performance of the conditions or covenant or the surrender of the property, served upon him and upon any subtenant in actual occupation of the premises remains uncomplied with for three days after service. Within three days after the service of the notice, the tenant, any subtenant in actual occupation of the premises, any mortgagee of the term, or other person interested in its continuance may perform the condition or covenant and thereby save the lease from forfeiture, except that if the covenants and conditions of the lease violated by the lessee cannot afterwards be performed, then no notice need be given.
