My tenant who has paid well til this point (6-7 months) just sent me a TEXT MESSAGE after I called her family references from her rental application. She's 4 days late and no contact. She claims in this msg that she lost her job, got a new one, child support is late, and will have rent to me friday.
WELL, that's 7 days late. So tomorrow, the 5th day, I'm sending USPS cert. letter titled Notice to Vacate- the Ohio revised Code dictates the verbage that must be used when you send this letter. I think its also referred to as the the 3 day letter because you must send/serve it 3 days before filing an eviction claim. You can even hand deliver it, but I'd rather have a paper trail.
My thought is that if I sent it cert tomorow, I should give it 3 BUSINESS days which takes me til Monday...at which point I'll go forward (and NO, I havent a clue what 'forward' is at this point. Im calling the courthouse for some info tomorrow...I assume I go down, fill out some papers, pay a fee, and wait). IF she pays Friday, including all late fees, I wont goto the courthouse. She actually loses a $50 rent discount by not paying by the 1st...then on the 6th there's a $20 fee, and $10 each day thereafter.
Any advice opinions? Told ya so's?
