In NJ at least it looks like not that complicated procedure via the DMV.

Another small pointer would be to do a bit of research on the standard operating procedures for where the owner lives.

You can record the macro procedures to do what you want, which sounds like some copy and paste event type thing.

@Rich Hupper, no, not really, that's because foreclosure laws or requirements are unique to state laws and while there are uniform procedures like notice, notice of dishonor, demand, notice to creditors, publication, sale, redemption, disposal and deficiency, it all is subject to state law.

Unless there is something specific in the lease to the tenant's situation or disability, then all normal eviciton procedures should apply. 

Good news everyone, the $500 de minimis safe harbor limit was increased to $2,500 for taxpayers who place property in service, that are NOT required to produce an audited financial statement(applicable finance statement).Effective for January 1st 2016 they are adjusting audit procedures to ignore items below this threshold provided provided you have a receipt.This means you will not have to depreciable items below this threshold as long as you elect that safe harbor.Of course it was released this morning, after I prepared for my presentation this evening.This represents HUGE $$$ savings and time savings.IRS Notice Notice 2015-82This Notice is effective for costs incurred during taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

It is good practice to establish a pet policy and procedure and a service animal policy and procedure prior to encountering the need.See: http://www.mvfairhousing.com/ServiceAnimalPolicy.P...An example from our rental agreement of a clause that has proven useful:"PETS AND ANIMALS.This agreement specifically prohibits keeping pets/animals, or allowing the pets/animals of others on the premises, even temporarily, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Each department will use a different set of accounting procedures and analytics.

—The term ‘servicer’ has the same meaning as in section 6(i)(2) of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (12 U.S.C. 2605(i)(2)).’’.

Follow the procedure in the code for "safe harbor"If you're a commercial landlord and the tenant or any other property owners left behind property after vacating the premises,  see CA Civil Code 1993 - 1993.09.
