Well, contrary to my gloomy prognostications, it looks like I will have a 7th straight month with no evictions. As I reported yesterday, I had given a 3 day notice to my tenant who had been admitted to a mental facility. I also talked to the administrator at the mental health facility, letting her know that I would be evicting the tenant if she didn't pay her rent.
About 9am this morning, I noticed on my surveillance system that the tenant's mother was removing the tenant's belongings from her apartment. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from one of my other tenants to tell me that it appeared this tenant was moving out. A little later, I received a call from the administrator of the mental health facility letting me know that she had talked to the tenant and the tenant's mother and that the tenant would be moved out by the end of the day. So, the bottom line is that I got lucky and avoided the eviction.
My project today was to continue working on the 3 bedroom Section 8 house that is being inspected on Friday. Today, I painted the floor in the living room; patched many holes and imperfections in the walls; and I removed a wrotted section of floor in the kitchen (caused by a water leak at some point). I'm hoping to get it finished up tomorrow (I better get it finished up tomorrow) because I have a Section 8 inspection on Friday morning!
