Re: rent is late again
The answer depends entirely on the language in the existing lease. I would be happy to review that for you and write you an opinion letter, but cannot do so without seeing the lease agreement.
My fees are very reasonable and I could provide you with a response by Monday if you like. Please do not accept a generic answer from any attorney who has not reviewed the lease.
Thank you,
Marc
Re: rent is late again
"Telling" a tenant that you're not renewing is not legally binding. You must put it in writing.
In addition, you may serve a three-day written notice to pay or quit when the period provided in the lease for payment expires. If he does not pay within those three days, he may be evicted for failure to pay.
