love and justice

i had to give two weeks notice to my tenant... she's been late on rent every month... (last month she ended up paying me on the 25th.... this month she hasn't paid me yet... every check she has ever written me has bounced...

it's a difficult thing to do to someone, but after all the trouble she has caused me, i had to get the courage to face her and give her the notice... then I had to go to court and file a dispossessory charge... the funny thing is that i didn't know all this stuff before... got a call from an old time friend who said she was really thinking about me and wondering if i was ok... come to find out, she's taken this thousand dollar landlord course in Georgia that taught her all the laws and legal procedures to handle this type of thing.... she emailed me all the forms i needed and now i am at this point...

i was worried about kicking my tenant out, because i didn't think i could find someone for December.... but another miracle happened... jamila called and asked me yesterday if i still had the condo and if it was available... she new someone that was looking to move in dec. 1st... we have since connected and he really can't wait to get in there...

i tell you, i wasn't sure if i was doing the right thing before, but all these confirmations make me feel like i am on the right path... it's hard to kick someone out of their home... the tenant really made it a difficult process... but i had to stick to my ground... now i am only hoping she leaves in peace...
