What is the name of your state? FL
Long story - sorry
I own a 2br 2.5ba townhouse. I have rented out the other bedroom with its private bath. Things have gone south because the renter doesn't feel that I have the right to ask that her boyfriend not stay the night at the house so much - I talked to her about the noise they were making and the fact that he was staying the night too much (5 nights within a 7 night timeframe). After a second warning about the problem she flew off the handle, yelling, throwing a fit and during this fit said "Fine, I'll be out by the end of the month - consider this my notice!"
I let a few days go by - even let her know that if she could just compromise and cut back to having the boyfriend over 3nights or less it would be fine. Asked her, after those few days, what she had decided and she said she was moving out. I asked when her last day would be and she said "well I won't know that until I find a new place"
So, the week goes by - (from date of "notice" it was a full 7days) and I ask again how her search is going - no answer.
Soooo, trying to wrap this up, I drafted a letter letting her know that I had accepted her "notice of intent to vacate" and that I expected her to be out by the end of the month. I also included that if she wanted to change her last day, she had three days to let me know (that would coincide with being two weeks exactly before the first of the next month). Well, the time has gone by (yesterday) - no change in notice.
So, I can expect her to be out by the end of the month right? What do I do if she doesn't leave? As both the owner and the other occupant what rights do I have to get her out on time? I've been trying to look this up and can't seem to get a straight answer about whether or not I have to follow the same protocol as a regular landlord/tenant relationship would.
We share a common entrance, kitchen, and the downstairs half bathroom - she has her own room and full bathroom (as do I). Thanks in advance for your responses!
