Re: landlord rights
As frustrating and as slow as it seems, you need to go through the legal process to obtain a judgment of possession. Non payment cases ove fairly quickly but never as fast as the landlord would like.
Do not resort to self help or you will find yourself on the wromng end of a lawsuit! Call me if I can be of help.
Good luck,
