The closing on our house is scheduled for April 12, just a month away. We still have renters in the house, and our contract states 30 days notice is required to break the contract.
So, we need to give notice tomorrow.
Our plan is to contact them by phone tomorrow, and follow up with a certified letter.
I hope they don't give us any problems. They probably won't. Heck, an appraiser walked through the house last Thursday. That should be a hint, right?
They haven't paid rent this month (due on the first) so, I don't expect any more rent from them. We do still have their $800 deposit, which will cover March rent, but not the 12 or so days in April. Small cost for selling the house.
On another subject, we finished 12 gallons of syrup yesterday. Our first of the season. It didn't freeze last night, so the trees ran all night. Weather forecast for the month looks perfect.

Can you contact a friend to 'monitor' in an unobtrusive way the move-out? I've seen the evidence when angry people move-out. They have been know to take the thing that are attached to the walls! Our neighbor who rents their condo for the college term [September - May] had tenant take the fridge, stove, washer, dryer last May having avoided paying rent for two months. Unhappy tenants have left the place a serious mess requiring professional cleaners and junk hauling truck.
Perhaps your realtor could make arrangements for someone - for a fee to monitor the situation.
Just a suggestion to prevent a potential problem.
