Question about an eviction, input requested.
I was informed on the 4th of the month that one of my tenants lost one of her jobs and would no longer be able to pay her rent. She stated that she would be moving out in the next couple of weeks. I immediately sent the pay or quit notice and have filed for the writ of possession and it was served October 12, with 7 days to notify the court. She texted me and said she would be moved out by October 22. I drove by this evening and noticed the sheriffs envelope still taped to the door. We also know that the electricity was turned off in September 18.
My question is, should I go tomorrow and unlock, and inspect the property for vacancy or set up the eviction/set out with the sheriff?
I would prefer to not pay a turn crew and sheriffs fees to show up if the property is empty.
Thanks for any experience/input.
