eviction

Our tenant is way behind on their rent. they have been promising to pay but have not made any payment for over a month. We found out that he no longer has his job. We gave them a three day eviction notice, can we change the locks after three days if they decide not to leave?

Each state has its own requirements. I would agree to check what they are, even locally, and go from there. The leases is critical, so make sure you have the correct rights to proceed as stated in the document. Check this website for some great information!
Each state had their own set of statutes and laws. The water bill issue will vary according to locale. This site is a great resource for state requirements. Have you started the eviction process yet? It sounds to me that you need to see what the eviction procedures are for your location and get started right away.
I think the first step here is to see what it says in the lease. I have tenants who have leases where changing the locks after a certain time was written right in the document. It is another reason to make sure that you have a lease document that is up to date and reflects what you need a s a landlord!
