This notice will instruct them to pay their owed rent by a certain date and if they don't they could face eviction.Once served, the people who have the money and are just screwing with you will pay up and get current in most cases and the people who can't pay because they have no money won't come current and at that point you need to go forward with an eviction.

The most interesting in the class was the instructor.

I kind of started at once, i work full time outside real estate, decided to get my real estate license here in mass, and the same time my wife and I started looking for our first house and my instructor became my agent.

and is as follows: SFR / Last sale - 1900 to 2011 / BR 1 to 4 / max assessed value $1 to 227,000 (calculated per instructions) / Equity 30-100% / Excluded trusts. 

It's also possible, this agent was instructed by his client not to present any offers outside of the auction site.

So, I followed the instructions provided by getting my lead from Realtor.com.
