Eviction Time Frame for a Landlord

[Nazanin Boojar]

I was wondering how long it would take for a tenant to leave my property if I sent him a notice to do so. In checking the legal rules for landlords in different states, I realized that the rules vary widely. I'm not sure how much this time frame matters to a rental investor. Do you think this should be taken into account when investing in a rental property in another state?

In my state we can post a notice on day 10 of unpaid rent, essentially notifying the tenant that the process will begin the following month, so even as fast and as landlord friendly that is here the entire process can still be 2-3 months.  I’d imagine your state has some similar steps or flow to it, and doing the first step as fast as possible is paramount if you plan to go through with that.
