Re: What consitutes - Landlord Forum thread

Re: What consitutes by Ivy (Illinois) on March 30, 2012 @14:02

She has my Email address as we came together over the internet through one of the sites that help tenants find rooms and landlords find tenants.

Here's the kicker, She's renting a room in my home, we live together.

I'm not pretending as though I have not gotten the text, I'm just discussed at how she has handled this whole thing, as she's a 37 year old adult.

She has even text me to ask me if she can use me as a reference for her new landlord. I told her I would be fine with that.

I believe that when terminating an agreement that it should be done in more professional manner. How she has handled this whole thing thing is rather cowardly and certainly unprofessional!

"How she has handled this whole thing thing is rather cowardly and certainly unprofessional!" Yet you pretend you never got the her notice.

"I'm not pretending as though I have not gotten the text" The OP never stated that she is or was pretending she didn't get the notice. It seems she was inquiring if in fact a text message that the tenant mentions in a roundabout, afterthought manner that she will only be there for a few more weeks can be used as official notice as per the letter of the law. Would she be able to use that text in court if she should need to evict the tenant if the tenant is not gone by the end of 5 weeks and she has another tenant lined up to fill the vacancy based on that text? If anything, the text would prompt me to write the tenant a letter referencing the text asking for a specific move out date and providing instructions about what condition the LL expects the tenant to leave the property, key return, etc.

"I'm not pretending as though I have not gotten the text" There is no discussion between the two. "If anything, the text would prompt me to write the tenant a letter referencing the text asking for a specific move out date and providing instructions about what condition the LL expects the tenant to leave the property, key return, etc.": The tenant lives in the next bedroom. And you want to write the tenant a letter? What is wrong with everybody anyway?
