I believe you can then withhold rent - and if it ever went to court the judge will ask "did you send a certified letter to the landlord?"

Looking for some good advice on how to proceed since this I have zero experience with requesting tenants to vacate, eviction, etc.

Before I invest in any CF platform, I open a direct line of communication (with the principals if possible), do DD on the site and people behind the company and only if I feel 100% comfortable, proceed.

I had a suicide in one of the homes I bought at court house steps.. guy just would not move and when we had to evict.. ( let him live there for 8 months for free you know me and how tough I am as a landlord :).. the guy went in the back yard and shot himself.we were able to list and sell.. but its because we already owned it.

Our attorney is Jeff Ehrlich (he has a Court St office), and we loved how he navigated us through BS versus the norm.

Any closing attorney can draft a note/deed/settlement statement, but unless they've had to argue in court to defend or oppose these documents in court, they may not have enough perspective.

Courts in California are not owner friendly when a lawsuit occurs and tend to lean toward the tenant.

Do I just go to court house and request the forms?  

Everything seemed to be working out fine until today when I found out that that court deemed the mother to not have the mental capacity (a few weeks ago) to give power of attorney to her son.

I have seen this go to court and the judge declare this agreement to be a Land Contract and not a lease option, if part of the rent is credited towards the purchase.
