Last Friday I had went to court for my first eviction (first of many-uuughghgh) The tenant did their best to make me look like the landlord monster but in the end she failed. Now my question is: They said in the state of NC the tenant has 10 days to pay... but if they don't... I have to do a writ??? Also I'd like to know can she go to court on any of the nonsense they tried to get me for rather than pay. I have not heard from them (no phone-disconnected) I don't know if I should approach them before the 10 days is up. I want to send my handyman to make repairs so I can get a leg up in case they decide to bounce. I'd rather be rehabbing/flipping than landlording a SFH. (sighhhhhh)

A 10-Day writ means after that you go to the court and have the sheriff escort them from the building. Double check the process with your local housing court. Chances are the relationship has gone south by now. I would get them out and start looking for a new tenant.

If your cause was non-payment, then that is all the judge should hear. Because you too would need time to prepare a rebuttal. You already have a judgement to pay, if they don't - they HAVE TO GO!!! Sounds like you already won the case? Go for occupancy and start fresh.

We have tenants that love us. Pre-screening is the key. I don't have a blog on that YET, but check out my blogs for buy & hold and landlord/tenant issues.
