Delaware 5 day notice letter

[John Cimino]

Well, I bought my first rental property and long story short I inherited a bad tenant.  I ended filing for eviction, but was told that the pay or quit letter I found online was "invalid".  Luckily he didn't show up to court and just move out on his own, but I'd like to have a good template for the next time I need to send notice.  Do any of my fellow Delaware landlords have an appropriate 5 day notice template?

John,

If the tenant has a good job, I would not discount a debt action/wage attachment.  I am three checks away from collecting the full debt (more than $5000.00) on behalf of one of my clients.  It has taken a couple of years to find her, find her employer, and attach her wages, but the whole time the debt was accumulating 10% post judgment interest.

The debt action for past due rent is similar to the eviction process, so Mike can help you there too.

Good luck!
