Least amount of time to vacate

[Abhilash Joseph]

Dear BP,

After months of stories and email exchanges, my tenant has offered to move by thanksgiving. She has been no-paying since May, due to various reasons. What is the shortest time i can ask her to vacate by? Any advise will be helpful, at the end of my ropes

With all due respect to the out of state posters, they are giving you incorrect information that is not the law for Texas.

I would encourage you to send the notice and file the eviction as the cost to you to do so is +-$150.  If they leave as promised by Thanksgiving then great, otherwise waiting until then to see if they leave will cost you another 3 weeks or so.  In many cases Tenants will not react until the owner takes action.  Let me know if I can help
