[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here to update as promised. Tenant was evicted by USMS almost 2 weeks ago. House was junky/dirty, but fortunately no major repairs. Happy to have my property back! [/quote] So it took six months (and how much in attorneys fees?). Still think the smart move would have been cash for keys. [/quote] About 9 months of unpaid rent total at eviction. The rent was 3 months behind by the time we filed as it took awhile for the ERAP payment processing last year. My attorneys fees were covered by property management. I'm diametrically opposed to cash for keys and preferred to have a judgment on file for future landlords. I believe the tenant was hopeful for a cash for keys scenario and is likely how I inherited them. Self-eviction was more likely for me than cash for keys. Anyway, even with ample notice, tenant was still scrambling for housing the day before eviction and had to leave most furniture and items behind as a result. [/quote]
