Re: When to start eviction.......
In order to terminate a tenancy for habitual late payment of rent, (if it is not an owner occupied premises with not more than 3 units) a prior warning notice called a Notice to Cease must be first served upon the tenant. If the tenant pays late 2 more times after the warning notice, we can then serve the required Notice to Quit with Demand for Possession terminating the tenancy. It is a highly technical procedure and we would be glad to assist you.
