Greetings and thanks for reading my post. I’m in a bind and need some advice.
I’m currently involved in a probate property in a different county in my state that is occupied. I’m trying to get the lazy free-loading tenant out but I made an error in judgement a couple weeks back and I don’t want to pay for it down the road 30 days from now.
I had a 7 Day Notice to Quit filled out and notarized on March 8th and ready to serve him with. Instead of flaring up his temper I tried to reason with him and held off. Instead I had him sign and date a sheet of paper stating that he would be out by April 1st. At the time that satisified me and I didn’t serve him the 7 Day Notice to Quit papers. As long as I knew he was sincere in getting out and I had him sign a paper stating that I was ok.
BIG MISTAKE. Fast forward to today…
I swung by the property to see how he has been progressing on his moving out and he hasn’t done zilch, not a thing. He’s no further to getting out now than he was on the 8th.
I want him out and want to serve him the 7 Day Notice to Quit papers tomorrow (Saturday) so he knows I mean business and enough is enough.
Can I just serve him the notarized papers I already have dated March 8th, or not?
Do I need to re-do the forms and date it effective tomorrow?
Can I just scratch out the old dates and write in the new dates since everything else is the same anyhow?
Does the notarized 7 Day Notice to Quit form need to be notarized in the same county as the house is in or it doesn’t matter?
Sorry about the novel here but I’m racing against the clock if I want to get this done tomorrow and your advice and knowledge on this is greatly appreciated.
