Because he didn't pay his rent and I havn't seen all the cars that are usually in the driveway lately when I drive by and knowing they were looking to move, (remember she called on my house I had for rent last month) My main reason for wanting to enter is to see if they moved out, and while I am at it, I may as well do a general overall inspection for damages. I drove by last night and seen lights on and a car in the driveway, so it appears they are still there. The house is just up the road from where I live, that's how I can tell when something is out of the ordinary.
He doesn't take my 3 day notices seriously because of my husband. I don't want to wait to see what kind of damages there are until after he moves out. Any real damages could be all I need to make my husband comply with an eviction.
All these reasons are why I was thinking that maybe having a police escort would be a good idea, maybe?

Police aren't going to go for that. It's a waste of their time. Have they made threats against you? I'd just bring a friend with you as a witness. I like to give a specific time when I am going to do an inspection. 70% of the time they aren't home either because of work or because they don't want to see me.

No, he has never threatend me. If he had, that would be all I need to go ahead and evict for non-payment. I am hoping that no one is home when I go in to check. I'd rather not have to talk to them.

I'm sure they're just ingnoring the notices because they can get away with it and owe rent. I would post another inspection notice and go in when they are at work. You need to be prepared for any damages that they are doing. Hope you follow thru and evict. I am having a hard time with one of my tenants to, and hubby is not agreeable to evict, so I am doing it w/o him. i will not let these people stay for free (they are suppose to move end of month)and walk around feeling taken advantage of!
