(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.
