@Nathan Gesner Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should have. I took it upon me to place the 3 day vacate notice. I checked this morning and his items are gone.  I was told that they would use today to clean. I will do a consult with a lawyer today to see what options I have, legally, with the security deposit.

If he leaves today, would you still recommend eviction?

Thanks @Jim Goebel, I think that is the best thing to do, at the moment. I will give them a call tomorrow. I really hope it is a smooth eviction and that the dude doesn’t bust up the place.

So, I did serve a 3 day notice to vacate, the tenant is reluctantly complying. I think that he will leave tomorrow which is day #6 since the notice was given.

I have not retained a lawyer, as of now.  I have one waiting, if needed.

The violation came on day #1 of the lease, smoking in a non smoking apartment after telling the management that he didn't smoke. He also moved in four adults and two kids when on the lease he was given permission for two adults and one kid.  He was made aware of the violation on night #1.  On Day #14 of his lease, the tenants next door sent a message to management complaining of the smoke now entering their premise, filling their garage, laundry room, bedroom and bathroom.  That same day is when notice was given.

The tenant refused the 3 day notice claiming that he had seven days to comply.  He is currently on day #5 since notice was given. Management was told he will be gone on day #6.

Just a few questions:

#1 Is the "evicted" tenant still obligated to pay rent until a new tenant is found, even without a judgement?

#2 What would be considered reasonable when eliminating any smoke smell from the apartment?

#3 Is "evicted" tenant obligated to pay gas and electricity until an new tenant is found or is that only allowed if there is a judgement?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't purchased mobile homes, however I have purchased nine rental homes since 2012.  I live in Enoch.

I recently got my Realtors license and I have access to MLS. That might be a start.

I am a Cedar City, UT investor and have been since 2012.  I have a regular W-2 job.  We just purchased our eighth rental property and have sold a ninth. 

Our last purchase was a duplex in Cedar Willows by CVHS.

I guess another question is..."What are your policies in regards to hardware used to hang items.?" What are the consequences?

I do have a policy, but it surely wasn't followed.

I wish!

We let our property manager go in 2012. Now it's just my family as managers. Problem is, they are all leaving home or too busy to help.

I did try to hire two handymen, but they can't get to it until the 18th. I need to be done by Tuesday.

That's right. Whoops, I just wasted a good night's rest. :(

However, I just finished Set For Life by @Scott Trench for the second time, so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Tough to see anyone go through a break up like that. 

It is now 4:11 a.m. and I am still patching holes.

It may be more than $150. In about 30 minutes, it will be a 24 he workday.
