Re: I need help

You do not have to wait for anything from the renter. Once your five days are up, sue her to evict her for failure to pay rent. There is no defense to failure to pay unless she has alleged some defects in the apartment.

I can generally evict her for $850.00 including court costs. This will get you three court appearances. This fee does not include the sheriff's fee to evict her. ($225)

I can help you.
