It's a move out final walk through.  Tenant is moving out Sunday Oct. 31st and has decided not to return for the walk through the next morning, Nov. 1st. 

Tenant has decided not to show up for final walk through and has stated they will video taped the final walk through.  I can't force them to be present and I will video my walk through as well.  Advice/suggestions please. 

Thanks.

No eviction, she's moving voluntarily supposedly...I say supposedly because she hasn't given me proper notice.

Restraining order is a result of threatening and abusive language.  Tenant doesn't want to be told what to do.  Judge stated that her daughter could speak on her behalf until she vacates so I've been communicating with her.

So I have a tenant who's scheduled to move out Oct 31st, a Sunday and Halloween.  They want to do a walk through that evening which is not going to happen for a number of personal reasons.

How best to get keys and is tenant responsible for unit until keys are returned?  I was thinking of just getting them first thing Monday morning and have the locks changed on the spot.  BTW, I have a restraining order against tenant so I have to have a rep meet her. 

Suggestions/Thought?  Thanks!

She wants out and I want to help her get out.  She verbally lies and never puts things in writing to me when i ask her to document issues.  The inspection issues caught me off guard, and this tenant is an entitled constant complainer about everything, so the inspection is a blessing in disguise.

Thanks all.  I want her to be happy and she verbally stated that she wants to move but has not given me written notice.  I'm more than willing to give her a way out and just fix the issues when she's gone for the next tenant.  

I believe my Section 8 tenant is using the inspection process as a way out of herlease.  Inspection findings included tub surface repair and mice/roach infestation.  I have gone back and forth (verbally) with tenant over rodents and she has never definitively stated that they're were rodents and she flat out stated she had notroaches.  Now all of sudden its in the inspection report.

So my question is should I just let the Section 8 contract expire so she can get out of her lease?  If so, what would be the consequence of this?  Otherwise she will continue to be the PIA until next spring when I choose not to renew her lease.  

I intend to challenge the vague inspection report, which by the way, did not include pictures of the deficient items.

Lastly, if I do fix the items and try to keep her in the unit, the tub refinishing may be problematic as she has COPD and I don't want to be responsible for inhaling anything that could trigger something with her health. 

Thanks in advance for advice.
