Tenant Eviction
I have a tenant in DC that I'm about to evict. This is my first experience with this so I'm still understanding fully DCs tenant friendly laws. I've given the tenant the appropriate notices. But if they fail to comply, can I change the locks or can I only evict with a court order?
Can any of you share your eviction experiences in DC? Thank you.

And to piggyback on @Russell Brazil's advice, make sure you specify the condition the property must be in for them to get the cash.
If they leave holes in the walls, flush cement down the toilet, cut out all the copper pipe/wire, trash the place, the deal is off.
Read How to Evict a Tenant for some really great advice from Brandon Turner. It's a long read, but it's really great information.
