Evicting with Lost Lease Agreement - Posted by GCurtis(VA)
Posted by GCurtis(VA) on March 30, 2006 at 14:52:52:
I have had a tenant since Dec. 2005 who has constantly paid rent late since moving in and has only paid the rent on time one month. Now, he is $200 in the rears and I doubt if he can pay that amount along with the next month?s rent of $750.
I am about to start the eviction process but realized after tearing up my office, I CAN?T FIND THE FREAKIN? LEASE AGREEMENT! I know for a fact he does not have a copy. Any advice will help because I am sure the judge will want to see the original lease agreement.
I?m thinking since the lease agreement is lost I would have to do a 30 day written notice to vacate.
Please no bashing on how I could lose a lease agreement because that won?t bring it back.
Thanks in advance.

Just tape a three day pay or vacate on the door. You won’t need your lease agreement if the rent is in default.

Just check your local laws to find out how many days notice you need to give for non payment of rent. It should only be 3 or 5 days. No need to wait 30 days.
Of course, today is the 31st, so I would wait until Monday to see if I can get more money out of them over the weekend. Either way, file the notice if they are not 100 percent paid up by Monday.
