don't do it. Because of past history of tenant not taking you seriously, it is highly likely that your tenant will not take you seriously regarding your 24 hour post. My biggest concern is that your tenant will consider you as an intruder and could cause you harm. I do understand your desire to see if there's any damage(s) done to the property. If there is damage(s), it will still be there when they move out and you will know. While it is understandable that you feel the need to know right now if damage(s) exist or not. But seriously, it is simply not worth the potential problem that can easily create between you and your tenant. Your desire to know could lead you more harm than good. It is just not worth it. When does the 3 days notice expire? If it's expired already, begin the eviction. Based on your posts regarding your tenant, it would be very wise to hire an experienced eviction attorney. It is far, far better to be safe than sorry.
