Re: Very late but on the way out by Nicole (PA) on April 18, 2018 @07:31

how in the world can you have a place re-rented with no turn over time after a 4 year tenant? Do you truly think nothing will need cleaned, tightened up, repainted, changed out? do you think there will be no trash to be removed ... that they will take everything with them?

read your lease. hopefully you have a waiver of notice clause. if so, file at the magistrate tomorrow and you will have them out mid May ... that will give you twoish weeks to get the place ready for the new tenant.

they are not going to square away with you for the back money ... if they intended to, there would be no back money. If you wait for small claims, you need to serve them personally. File in landlord tenant now and no personal service is required. Garnishment is possible (although not always practical) if it's a landlord tenant judgment ... not so for small claims judgment.

waiver of notice clause??? by Tom in PA on April 23, 2018 @15:39	[ Reply ]

Hi Nicole, what does a 'waiver of notice' clause say and how does it come into play? I've been using a pretty standard lease for many years, but situations like what this guy is describing are scary, and if this clause would help, maybe I should add it to my lease... I have been very fortunate that my relatively stringent qualification process has given me good tenants over the years, but even someone who starts off good can end up giving LL a problem...
