Joe's lease has provisions against this, so I properly serve him a "10 day notice to cure" using a process server ($$).

I always love checking out what other people did.I'm doing some reading and it looks fairly easy to do, though reviewers mention a 3-day cure time and to also make sure you coat with like 3 coats of poly to seal the paint and keep it from chipping.

And, if this is in your lease, the tenant has violated the lease covenant and you would want to let them know that they have (in most states) five days to cure the deficiency or eviction could occur. 

But, if you didn’t catch them drinking then you have no way to prove it, I would give the contractor a time frame to cure the issues or you’ll hire someone else and deduct the cost from their amount owed.   

But it isn't a cure all for bad applicants. 

If it remains unpaid, issue cure or quit / 3 day notices / whatever your area requires...

Follow local laws if different. 14 days later file an eviction if issue is not cured.

Default by TenantTenant will be in default (Default) if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any Monthly Rent by 7 days after Monthly Rent is due and does not cure the failure within 7 days of receiving written notice from Landlord; (ii) Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent by 7 days after the Additional Rent is due and does not cure the failure within 7 days of receiving written notice from Landlord or; (iii) Tenant fails to comply with any other obligation or restriction in this Lease and does not cure the failure within 7 days of receiving written notice from Landlord.

I posted a "Quit or cure" notice on the tenants door with similar language and miraculously the poop has been picked up.

I was stuck in Paralysis Analysis and this program cured me of the condition.
