First Eviction! Questions...

[S Yu]

I'm living in MA and I have to go get started with my first eviction process. I have 3 units, and the eviction will be the one that moved in 1.5 months ago. Check bounced... was promised money... none. Voicemails not returned... enough with it.

I understand that in MA I will be serving a 14 day notice to quit. I will be contacting a constable to serve that notice. My question is if they see the notice and then pay the month of March, what happens in April. In April I am not waiting 3 weeks to start the process.

Then after the 14 day period I will go to court... this is going to be interesting. Tips are welcome.

My best advice is to show up at their doorstep, offer to forgive all past debt, and offer to give cash for keys. All they need to do is take a few days, empty the place and leave it broom clean, and you will use the money you would spend on an eviction and give it to them. I know it sucks, but you will come out much further ahead.
