Notice to vacate for existing occupant in New Purchase

[Andrew M.]

I just bought a house in Pennsylvania that I planned to use for mixed owner occupant and rental purposes. Due to a fairly insane set of circumstances that existed during closing I ended up taking ownership of the house with a tenant in the house. This was not originally supposed to be the case and I received cash compensation for this change in plans in an amount that I believe to be fair.

The current tenant is a very elderly lady probably 90+. She is supposed to be moving to a nursing home at the end of September. I will be a hand delivering a 30 day notice to vacate before the end of this month.

I have already spoken with a lawyer but I want to see if any of you experienced folks have any input for me. I know this could potentially be a very ugly situation. What pitfalls can people for see in this situation? What should I be doing to protect myself. Also does anyone have a notice to vacate template I could view? I have one I found online but I would like to see some more.

Cheers
