how to serve a difficult tenant

[Al L.]

Hello everyone,

In the past four weeks, I have used two servers to give my tenant a Five Day Notice at the apartment and 3 workplaces without any result.  My property manager thought it was abandoned and went to check the place under 48 hours maintenance notice.  He found the  lock was changed.  Young girl (not on the lease) was there and wouldn't open the door...

The tenant has relatives living in a building across the street.  They might have switched place to live.  I don't know for sure.

This is my first out of state investment in south side Chicago.  I am running out of ideas how to reach the tenant.   Will anyone has similar experience share your ideas and thoughts with me?  Thank you so much!
