Can we rant for a minute??

Dec 02, 2022

So...

Our law firm sees a lot of dumb stuff.

Potty mouth Tenants.

Empty threats from lawyers.

DIY leases (these are the worst!)

But this one is a doozy.

Here's what happened:

A Tenant gets served with an eviction notice for not paying rent.

He then screams:

"This notice is illegal.  It doesn't even include the Judge's signature!!!"

* yawn *

Listen up good, smartypants.

You're wrong!

A Judge's signature is not required on eviction notices.

Nice try, though.

You get an "A" for effort.

But don't worry, you'll get the Judge's autograph on the eviction order headed your way if you don't pay up (or get out).

Tenants these days...

It's easy to screw up eviction notices

Thankfully, the Judge's signature ain't one.
