I have a tenant behind on her rent and can't be reached by her telephone. Can I enter and change the lock after a Notice to enter of 24 hrs?

Go to court and get the proper paper work, the whole p[rocess will take 2 1/2 weeks. I just went thru this bull. They actually left 5 days early and never the last months rent. Good luck

I agree with Dawn. You can not change locks or disconnect utilities if tenant is still living there. Serve a Notice to Pay or Quit and if that fails start eviction. ---- Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement.

Having 40+ yrs with Rental Property and done well, it’s my way of “Pay it Forward (check out the movie).” However, it is up to you to become familiar with your State/Local laws. I always like to know if the suggestions I offer are helpful. Feel free to comment anytime. Thanks in Advance.

Call utility companies and see if she had them turned off. Check with neighbors to see if they saw her move. Look in window to see if furniture has been removed. If utilities are off and furniture gone, you can safely assume she ‘s gone. Check local/state law to what they say about suspecting abandonment. . -----Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement.
