I have a client, Landlord, who did a pretty good job without legal help. Tenant is a month to month residential holdover, and client has property sold. Tenant keeps delaying departure.
The notice to vacate gave 32 days to be out. They mailed it on 1/25 to tenant and THEN posted it conspicously on 1/30. Then they mutually agreed (apparently verbally) to let them stay til 3/27. They still are there.
In looking at 59.12.040 it says you can post the notice “and also sending a copy through the mail addressed to the tenant”. It doesn’t say that the mailing has to be after the posting.
I hope we don’t have to start all over with another 20 day notice. Client may lose a sale.
Is there authority that if you verbally let a tenant after the date on your notice to vacate, that you have to re-do the notice?
