With her, it was like she just refused to acknowledge the problems.

If you find that their service dog is distracted by you, runs up to you or even really acknowledges you, barks at you or other dogs, shows any aggression or tries to get at food, etc then they are NOT a service dog and they are NOT under the control of their handler and you do NOT have to rent to them. 

(b) The new owner shall deliver to the tenant a signed statement acknowledging that the new owner has acquired the property and is responsible for the tenant's security deposit and specifying the exact dollar amount of the deposit.

Act...So, emails are accepted forms of a writing, and since she acknowledged receipt, she has been "notified" in "writing."

Unfortunately, I have friends that did not have the perfect family and are more dysfunctional and forget about this scenario.....they won't even acknowledge each other forever.Lets not make it personal/family and see it from a business point and replace "family" with "tenant". 

@Sue Kelly, yes I have the standard early termination addendum - form RLAUC-1.All my tenants check the first box (the two month termination fee/liquidation damages).Now, I don't think there is any point to choose option 2 "I do not agree to liquidated damages or an early termination fee, and I acknowledge that the landlord may seek damages as provided by law." 

But first the background:- Acquired 3 Flat Building in Cook County  Feb 2016- Inherited Section 8 Tenant with lease expiration June 30, 2016- Rents are deposited via Direct Deposit by the Housing Authority of Cook County- Rent is well below market, I'd say by ~$500 / month - Provided 90 day notice to tenant that I would not be renewing lease- Tenant acknowledged and agreed to look for new apartment- 2 weeks ago, tenant said they haven't found a new apartment yet and requested to stay longer. 

Chew gum and pop itc.Yell out You’re a Liar when the tenant is talkingd.Stand there quietly, professionally and have all your paperwork ready and wait until the Judge acknowledges you.4.What should you bring with you to court to make you a winner?

For and in consideration of the covenants and obligations contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:" Could this alone allow us to consider them jointly and severally responsible? 

Yes, agreed - don't lose sleep over it.But the 'conversation' is in email, and I'd like to respond to acknowledge I rec'd email and that they have agreed to cure the problem.
