Q) My tenant gave me verbal notice that she was going to vacate by the end of May 2009. She further stated that she was not going to pay May rent since she was vacating and told me to use the security deposit to cover the rent. What should I do?
A) Serve your tenant a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit. If your tenant does not pay, you can proceed to evict your tenant for non=payment of rent. In this situation you can never be sure the tenant will actually vacate at the end of the month. Many tenants serve their landlord a 30-day notice, with no intention of moving. This is done in hopes that the landlord will delay any action for 30 days.
