I should have mentioned that the tenants have never mentioned a word about the mice and other 6 disrepairs and directly reported to local Health Deparment becaue they say they want the landlord to fix everything for them for free. Sure, I got a letter from Health Department. I and the realtor and an experienced handyman and pest control export went to the property (by the way, the tenants change the door lock) and all we think those disrepairs are damage by the tenants. The tenants do offer the information that she had neightbot to obsessivly open the door because her baby was crying inside while she locked herself out. The tenants even tell me that they do not want to pay the last two months rent because of 2-month security. The lease still has 5 months to go including November 2009 ($1000 monthly rent). The tenants stop paying the rent right after they report to Health Department. Last week, the first mice treatment was done and one item was fixed. This week, one more item was checked, and the rest will be fixed within this week. Now, what does it take to finish this kind of the appeal? how long usually does it take so that my case can start the eviction process due to non-payment rent? I assume I can not kick of the eviction now. Any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you very much for your reply!!!
