Eviction in PA - Do I proceed with a hearing?

[Account Closed]

Hello all..

I have two eviction scenarios. I know you guys can't provide legal advice. I'm just looking to see what others have done.

1) The first tenant is in rehab and I followed the Notice to quit, had the hearing and the judge ruled in my favor. I have to wait the 10 days in PA to get a sheriff for the lock out. The tenant's friend told me they will move their items out for them since they are in rehab. Do I still have to get a lockout by the sheriff, even though they are moving out? I was questioning this because the sheriff will "transfer the property" back to me, correct?

2) Second tenant in a different property wants to move out. I told them they actually would have to wait until September because they signed a year lease. They haven't paid this months rent (15 days late). I'm assuming they're probably going to up and leave. Would I have to proceed with the eviction process and hearing even if they up and leave?

Thanks!
