What to do if my landlord left a warning notice on my door stating that I had less than 24 hours to provide them with a copy of the keys to my residence?

Or they would send me a second warning. After a third warning I would be evicted. The warning notice was the first I had heard of their losing their set of keys and demanding a copy of my set. Is it legal for my landlord to demand that I provide them with a copy of my set of keys in less than 24 hours? Is it legal for my landlord to evict me if I do not provide a copy in their time frame?
