Non renewal - move out

[Eric Hrlbock]

Hi all,

So I served my only tenant who has ever been late w non renewal papers . 

Throughout this year they have been late on multiply occasions and I had to serve them many times to pay or quit. The last two times we served him , the guy had white powder in his nose when answering the door. They always ended up paying but after many stories and excuses.  

There is only a couple days left on the lease and I sent a move out letter asking them to set a pre move out inspection and all the things they need to do to get there 2 month security back.  Then I texted them what day works best for inspection.  No response 

I asked them one time to show the place a couple of weeks ago and it stunk like smoke inside.

I am concerned that they might not leave come the first. 

I do have 2 months security but we are in New York and also it was a fully renovated place.  

I contacted my lawyer, he said come the first they can start legal paperwork.

Any thought or advise.
