They’d been with me for about two years and had been dream tenants. I’d never had any problems at all. Then one night I got a call from the woman (who was part of the couple) saying [...]

I just got a 30-day move out notice from some of my tenants in Baltimore, MD. They’ve been with me for over five years and I hate to see them go, but unfortunately I couldn’t get them to stay. So when I received their 30-day notice in the mail (as per requirements of my lease) [...]
