Hey Gerry Hunt, In my 45-Years at Apartment Operations, Evictions were the absolute toughest part for me, as once we had the Writ in hand, the contact from the bailiff was just a couple days away. I did make it a point to personally knock on doors, and speak directly to the Resident being evicted, 100% of the time, so that they knew, The bailiff was coming, and they would be locked out with their belongings on the street. At least that gave them a couple days to react. As a course of business, we never did "Payment Terms", Rent was due on the 1st & late on the 2nd, 7-Day Notices went out on the 5th, and Evictions typically occurred within 45 days. That said, some Residents, many that were being evicted are clueless, mostly because they bury their head in the sand. I will also say, many Evictions are the fault of the management company for poor oversight of the Approval Process as a short term gain for physical occupancy, completely ignoring Economic Occupancy. We clearly have an economic crisis in this country, many folks simply do not have enough income to cover basic needs, Basic Housing Needs are ignored, and are becoming a luxury of the Rich,.........
