Stacy nice to meet you my name is sky Mikesell I am based in Charlotte ncIn most states this would simply be considered abandonment and there is no need to go thru the effort and expense of eviction for just formality purposes.You have possession of the house back change locks fast so they can't move back in (which has happened to me after someone officially moved out) For proof of service since tenant did not leave forwarding address you are sti required to provide accounting of security deposit even if their text told you how to apply it. 

This is what I use and have a Process Server serve...NOTICE TO PAY RENT OR QUIT TO _________________________________________________________________, and all other tenants in possession of the premises described as: Address _____________________________________________________________PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the rent is now due and payable on the above- described premises which you currently hold and occupy.

Plus they still had "possession" of the property those 3 days.   

We ask for it again on the form they fill out to verify they have moved, "Return of Possession". 

I would also require proof of policy be provided for review at least 7 business days prior to them taking possession of the property.

Borrower has been fighting 2 years to stay in possession without payment.

I am likely to get possession of 22 units next month and I am trying to figure out how to manage them. 

So, I went back to the seller and told her I would like to take possession of the title and have her as a lien holder or, I could go with traditional financing. 

But a rising tide of appreciation can overcome the effects of negative leverage if you are comparing your cost of capital just to the cash flows from the property while in your possession. 

I collect all keys from the tenant and ask them to sign a "Return of Possession" form, on which they write the address to which I will send their final report and security deposit refund.2.
