I can defend the numbers of it, the deal is beyond good numbers wide, but I can't get my wife on board. 

In the warranty deed that was executed the seller swore to defend my right and title to the Property and all improvements thereon against all others.

Therefore, it should be allowable that a landlord require the notice on the last day of a month and therefore force terminations to be at the end of every month.I've never had to defend it in court, but I have a clause in my leases that says rent is fully earned on the 1st of each month and it is not prorated should tenant vacate early in the month.  

@Irina Thank you for defending me!!!!!

There are no back property taxes on it, and no other defendants listed on the court case other than the homeowner.

If the defendant is cooperative, you should be able to have him sign something to enter his appearance, waived service of process and confess judgment.

A smart landlord would not want to defend the expenses in front of a judge. 

I would only add that when contemplating what you will deduct on a security deposit imagine you would need to defend your actions in court. 

Bear in mind, the defendant has only 10 days from the auction to file this and must Show some defect in the foreclosure process.....not “I was victimized” or “I didn’t receive a notice/summons because I moved”, “I want to do a short sale” or “etc,etc,etc.”.
