First Time Eviction - Landlord Forum thread 359722

First Time Eviction by Jason on September 14, 2019 @18:18

                              
Hello everyone. This is the first time that I have ever had to evict someone from one of my apartments, and I want to make sure that cross all of my "t's" and dot all of my "i's".

From what I have gathered, I basically have to write a letter to the tenant with the title as PENNSYLVANIA NOTICE TO QUIT, and post it on each entrance to the apartment. Here is what I have so far, let me know if I am missing anything:

PENNSYLVANIA NOTICE TO QUIT

[landlord name, address and contact info]

[date that this notice begins]

To [tenant/tenants]:

And all individuals (tenants, occupants and subtenants) in possession of the Premises

The Premises herein referred to in this official notice to quit is located at [apartment address of tenant] with a lease agreement commending on [beginning start date of lease] between [tenant/tenants] and [landlord]. This notice to quit has been sent by the Landlord to the Tenant(s) due to the non-payment of rent.

In accordance to the laws in the State of Pennsylvania WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS after service on you on this notice to quit, you are hereby required to pay via money order or certified check to the undersigned Landlord or the Authorized Agent and back-rent including any late penalties or other fees accumulated of which you now hold possession amount to the sum of [total amount due to date]. If payment is not made you will be required to quit and deliver up the possession of the premises at the end of the ten (10) day period.

YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED THAT the Landlord does hereby elect to declare that forfeiture of your lease agreement under which you hold possession, to the above-described premises,if you fail to perform or otherwise comply with institute legal proceedings to recover rent and possession of said premises which would result in a judgment against you including costs and necessary disbursements together with possible statutory damages allow by law for such unlawful possession of the premises.


Landlord/Agent Signature ______________________________________

Looks like you have already read your state law. You have the first step correctly, just make sure to do the rest correctly also.

Good Luck!
