Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I have a tenant who has a one year lease with me until November 30, 2012. However she did not pay the rental fee for 3 months due to her car accident. CAN i give 30 days notice to leave from my house?

You would need to send her a pay rent or vacate notice. If she does not pay, then you would proceed with eviction.

Have you talked with her? Maybe she can get some help via relatives, church, etc. There are organizations that help individuals in her situation. If all else fails, send her a 3-Day Notice to Pay or Quit. 30 Day Notice will not work since she’s on a lease. ---- Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement. I’m not affiliated with EZlandlord Forms. I’m just here (not sure how long) to help those that have questions. Having 40+ yrs with Rental Property and done well, it’s my way of “Pay it Forward (check out the movie).” However, it is up to you to become familiar with your State/Local laws. I always like to know if the suggestions I offer are helpful. Feel free to comment anytime. Thanks in Advance.
