This can serve as a Cure Notice, and give the parents the documentation that they say they need to move forward.If you aren't willing to move forward on an eviction, then the Cure Notice may be as far as you can go. 

I would be more inclined to serve them a 10 day notice to comply (or equivalent in your state), which would cover many bases - let the tenants know that this is their issue, let tenants know that this is serious, and get closer to eviction if it doesn't resolve.  

And 2) Is there possibly some compromise you guys could come to before this goes any further (i.e. before “legal papers” start getting served over a garbage disposal)?

My lawyer served a 30 day notice to terminate a lease and goes to court Friday for that.

But keep searching and looking at things in different ways, that’ll serve you wellBest of luck!

I am a recent graduate, who just landed his first real job outside of serving/bartending.

I'm part of a team that serves Pensacola to Panama City Beach and most of us ARE or SERVE investors (or both in my case). 

Good morning Casey,Congratulations and thank you for serving our Country!

My business is very replicable and I have served many property owners and fix and flip buy and hold investors and I do not want to take from  my business!!!

But one strategy I’ve heard mentioned is to serve a 30-day notice to terminate and then, if the tenant doesn’t voluntarily leave, evict them for being a holdover tenant instead of non-payment of rent.
