Like @Curtis Bidwell suggests, just get him served with a proper 3-day (here) or 5-day or whichever it is in your state to Pay or Vacate and go through the legal process.  

I went on what I'll call, vacation.

I will buy another local property but am considering using some of the funds to buy a vacation rental as well.

The person I spoke to last week who was looking into things went on vacation...unbelievable.

I was submitting a vacation request for a week off during Summer and thought back on "Summer Vacation" from school.

Good Morning Everyone,I'm currently on vacation up in Boston and am having a bunch of time to catch up on reading, emails, and finally posting on BP.

Maybe in Philadelphia, but I had all of my tenants here in AZ sign new leases and I believe you are required to give 60 day notice to vacate.

Having just spent a lovely weekend in Door County, Wisconsin and coming from the (comparatively -- okay, absolutely) pricier vacation spot of Telluride, CO, I'm wondering why such a charming set of waterside villages within driving distance of Chicago, Milwaukee, etc., should be so inexpensive!

A tenant with a 2-yr lease has given notice that they'll be moving out to a better school district when lease ends in 8 months.Normally this happens closer to lease end, and I follow CA regulations re: advising tenant...

(401k, insurance, vacation days, stable cash flow, possible stock matching, etc) If you have a family and kids, don't be in too much of a hurry to quit your job!
