<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope we don’t have to start all over with another 20 day notice.
Client may lose a sale.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
