 Thank you!

Hello Hive, 

Looking for a story telling, artistic Photographer with the right equiptment to come to Pittsburgh South Side Flats for a  quick session in November.  

Thank you!

Would love to share Cory And All.  

Spoke with an Attorney who advised that I was correct in the situation and mentioned posting notice on the Tenants door, as well as Certified Mail, then going to the Magistrates office to file and Landlord / Tenant Complaint. I did both.  

Just as I was posting the notice on the Tenant's door, the door was not shut all the way and I was suddenly face to face with the Tenant. I took a deep breath, explained the situation and where i was in the process and the fact that he signed a renewal of an original lease.  So long as there are no new terms,  all terms carry over.  He said he wanted to talk to an Attorney himself.  He did.  

Got a text that he was willing to comply that evening. He is actually leaving about a month early.  I am paying him the prorated rent for the days that he will not be in the unit this month and all is well with the world.  

I appreciate everyone's contribution to the concern, however a few had me much more stressed than needed!!   It was a blessing that the door opened.  Face to face chat is always best and shows the other person that you are human.  Learning fast and hard over here with Property number one! 

 Thanks Lynn!  

let me know your thoughts with the above reply and updates. 

 Hi all!  Wanted to provide some updates here. I really appreciate the input.  

All clear on deposits that they were credited in the loan. 

There is a clear as day sale clause in the original lease signed by the 1 bedroom unit that the tenant is living in in question.  This tenant is under the impression that since the paper he signed when he signed his renewal didn't clearly state the sale clause that it doesn't apply.   I don't see any way that this would be the case as there are no amendments or term changes at all from the initial lease to the renewed one.  I plan to serve him a 60 day vacate notice on Monday.  

the other until is a two to three bedroom which I don't need for just me.  I will be loosing money by occuring that unit.  

if the tenant still refuses to vacate , what can I do to protect myself of the for an eviction?  

Would an attorney be necessary or break the bank here making it a waste of money? 

The current lease goes through to May 2025.  So keeping it is not an option. 

Hi Jonathan, thank you for your reply! 

there is a clause in the lease that if there is a sale of the property that I can give 60 days notice to vacate essentially terminating the lease. 

There is one unit that is vacant but I am rehabbing that unit.  Per insurance I will be occupying the unit that this tenant is currently in.  It saves me money on the homeowners as it is a multi unit building. 

With regard to the deposits, I probably just missed that with all that was going on that day.  

Does the notice have to be notarized or certified or can I simply email a DocuSign or sorts? 

Hey All! 👋  
So excited to announce that I have just closed on my first Property, a Triplex in Pittsburgh, Pa.  

For financial, insurance and logistical reasons, I will need to occupy one of the two units that are currently occupied.  
The lease states that I may give 60 Days notice to vacate to the Tenant who currently occupies this unit. 

Can someone provide insight, a template and help with how to best send this notice?  
Does it have to be notarized or certified?  

Closed August 12th - I am also confused about what happens with the rent money that would have been paid for August.  And what happens to the security deposits?  Do they just transfer somehow? 

Appreciate the help, 

Hi Matt! 

So, as the first property would be a triplex or fourplex, I was in the understanding that I could use 75% of the income coming from that initial owner occupied purchase towards my debt to income ratio going into the next purchase.  

Also since the first purchase would be FHA (3.5%), I would still have money saved for the down payment on the next, probably in the range of around 50k, also could get a partner for the second, though since this will be my first two purchases, I'm leary about adding a partner already into the mix.

I have a W2!
