It is funny how time flies. It has been several months since my last eviction in Ramsey county. I just realized I never did write much about doing evictions in Ramsey County. I will give you my impressions and any tricks of the trade, just like I have done with Dakota County and/or Washington County [...]

0 CommentsIt is that time of the month. You total up which tenants have paid you in full and then send out the eviction letters to the ones that have not. Depending upon the state, a tenant eviction letter, can be a formal or informal piece of paper. Some states require it as part of process [...]
