I don't know what this has to do with this particular situation but that's not something I would support in a deal like this.
jk mann, I am glad it resolved.

Glad to hear it worked out.
I was afraid they might know a bit about eviction laws & played this scam every where they went, knowing they could get away with it for a while.
I hear evictions are difficult here in Texas too... can take up to a few months at least. I've been warned to not let anyone with kids move in because it can be nearly impossible to get them out... folks with disabilities too. I don't know that it's going to be worth the worries and headaches. Too bad...
Most JPs will routinely issue a notice to vacate on a non-paying tenant with a 7-day limit. However, I have seen a JP give someone 30 days when they came up with a big enough sob story about their disabled child and the problem with finding daycare in a new location. I've never known a JP to grant more than 30 days to someone who hasn't and won't pay their rent.It depends on why you want them out but the biggest thing is the JP. They can pretty much do what they want but it's not complicated and doesn't take that long.
To be fair, it's not 7 to 30 days. It's "the legal timeline" PLUS "the time it takes to get a Constable to come do their thing." That last half of the equation may cause you absolutely no delay if you're an apartment manager and do this stuff a dozen times a month...or it can delay you for months because you have a single rental property that's inconvenient for anyone to visit and you don't have an established relationship with a Constable.I've been told it can be a nightmare but seven to thirty days isn't bad.
I had tenants and was left with $4500 in bills after they left. I suggest having the notice hand delivered by a Sheriff.
Water company and electric company can cut off your stuff for not paying the bill. I don't know why a renter wouldn't be able to for non-payment.
We have it good in Texas, go to Ca and it can take YEARS to get them out of the house and when you the clean up can cost you thousands.They're not any relation to me... just half-brothers to each other. And they apparently seem to move from place-to-place taking advantage of those who trust them.
