Pretty sure I earned every penny on that one.Sounds like more of the issue is you dont know how to distinguish between average and quality, and over pay for average.Here is a question....if it is all so rigged....then why do I, as a top 1% agent nationally....use agents in other markets when I buy and sell there, when one would think Id be more than capable of doing it myself?

(I am assuming this would be the court with the jurisdiction over this matter, so this would be the form you’d use at that stage.)Sorry for the confusion, but I first needed to get that out of the way, before saying this:From experience, I can say that each time my PM has given a written notice (I don’t actually know for how many days,) the tenant would pay.If you’d like to use a template instead of making your own notice from the Guide’s suggestion, you can find one here: https://eforms.com/eviction/ga/If I were doing this myself, I’d start with a 7-day written notice (even tho, as far as I, as a non-lawyer, can tell, I don’t have to give any number of days) and perhaps avoid court altogether.
