Filing an eviction a month after notice

[Stone Teran]

I put an eviction notice on the door of a tenant on July 7.  I was stupid and believed her excuses (and I had several vacancies coming up) so I didn't file the eviction.  Now it's August 17 and it's clear that she's not paying, so I will be filing the eviction.  I have not accepted any rent since giving the notice.  Do I have to put another notice on her door or am I free and clear using the one from last month?

hehe, yup, some late-paying renters definitely seem to find money for everything else. They also tend to find money for their other bills because they know the other billers won't play games and shut off the electric, phone, etc while the landlord could be a softie.

I recently had a tenant not pay on time. Promised it with the late fee by certain date that came and went. Then their aunt was on life support. Sorry, I understand how terrible that is, but I still paid my mortgage even when my own mother was dying.

A day later at 9PM, I get a text saying "it is important that you contact me asap." Pretty sure you can call me yourself (during normal hours!) or text/email me what you want to say. I've done my part of filing the Failure to Pay Rent. ;-)
