Re: landlord- tenant
Do you want to be saddled with the car, or do you want the rent? More than likely, she will not sell the car. If you have a mortgage to pay, the car is not going to help you do so.
If there was no time limit on her sale of the car, the agreement is unenforceable. Serve a new three-day notice and enforce it.

As Mr. Cohen points out, serve her another 3 day notice. Follow up with enforcement.
