Tenant not moving loan fell through new tenant needs to move in

[Erin Malone]

First off I know I have done everything wrong. My tenant gave notice on the fourth that should be moving out the following month on the 8th. I explained she had to give me a month notice prior to the 1st. I let her know that if I could rent it early I would give her her money back if she would make it available to show. She did and I was able to rent it The same day I listed it for the 20th or 12 days after she moved out. I even told her I would split the 12 days with her because I knew I needed to paint.

On the ninth she told me she still there and her loan fell through she’s trying to get a new one and she would tell me when she would be out ASAP. The utilities have been switched to my name, and my tenants are coming next Thursday. I stopped by yesterday she told me she was trying for a different loan. I told her I have to do work on the house before the tenants come in on the 20th. I know I should never have rented it before she left I learned my lesson I am a new landlord. She’s not communicating with me she just keeps telling me she will let me know when she knows. I sent her a note this afternoon and she’s read it but not responded that said I need her to move out by Sunday because I have painters coming Monday. I would prefer if she could leave on Saturday and then my husband and I could paint ourselves. Does anybody have any advice on what to do now? I think she is a decent person who is in a world up mess she has several pets, a son and no where to go. She’s made it all my problem and I don’t know what to do.
