You have a 5 day pay or quit, then a 5 day unlawful retainer, then you have to schedule the constable to execute the eviction. Those are all business days too, so it's a couple weeks if everyone is on the ball.

I had my tenant out in 6 days.. I used eviction las vegas. She even tried to get a stay at the court hearing..

I didn't even catch that.

I've never seen an HOA actually foreclose. They just postpone forever.

In that case, I wouldn't worry about this at all.

Skilled tenant can stall at least a month. And they can simply pay the back rent. Generally the judge will not insist on payment of any other charges.

Says right in the title.

How embarrassing. Can't believe I missed it

Nothing happened on the 8th (I looked up the law firms other filings and they have foreclosed, just never at the time listed) Well now the "property manager" (not the home owner but some business partner that we have never paid rent to or have been in contact with for repairs so shes not much of a property manager) wants to put a lockbox on the door so anybody can just come in whenever they want to show the property for short sale. She tried to sell me on how only RE agents would be able to get in and that we would have notice but I know that's a bunch of baloney because I've gained access to vacant houses with lockboxes on them, I'm not a RE agent..

apparently the lockbox on the door will make it more attractive. Then she went on to say that rent is going up in Las Vegas and how good of a deal we are getting on our rent (we pay $1100 for a 1200SQFT house in Southern Highlands, I've looked at the rentals in the area.. shes a liar) and how we are in good hands.. etc.

She said she was going to give us 30 days notice since I said I was uncomfortable with it. That's fine by me. They just replaced the water heater three weeks ago and the valves for the sprinklers, we paid our rent when the owner called us back with the acct # so if they want us out so they can show the property with a lockbox it's not a problem for us, we're probably just going to move.. any enlightenment though?

1. with a lockbox ONLY a realtor can get in... If you were able to gain access prior, you could have had a problem
2. rents are stable or rising.. with all the foreclosures, people need to rent.. Only apartment rents are hurting
3. $1100 is on par for the southern highlands

I came in with permission from the realtor, they weren't present but I was able to get in with the key inside the lockbox. I'm more or less concerned with people dropping by unannounced and opening the door because she can't guarantee me that it won't happen. She even said that she wanted it on the door for "emergencies".. I said, showings without notice and she said yes. Proceeded to call us "dependents" because of the "low" rent and the house losing money and how shes in charge and we aren't. Looking at the nicer, larger houses in the area I will just tell her she can give us the 30 days notice whenever she wants. thanks for the reply

The realtor can lose their license by letting an individual access to the lockbox without the realtor present. Highly illegal

If it's an electronic lockbox (Supra lock box), nobody is getting in without the agent's electronic key and their keycode, which no agent is going to give out.

If it's a combo lockbox where you just need the code, I wouldn't want that since the agents will more readily give out the code and sometimes it is even on the MLS sheet.

I've never seen an combo lockbox used except on some vacant REO's.

Not sure what to tell you here. You obviously feel like you're getting screwed and the reality is your landlord wants to short sale the house. Many renters have been faced with this lately. Nobody wants to rent a house and have to deal with showing it, but really the landlord doesn't want to deal with that either since you're not going to "present" the house well for showings since you have no vested interest (in fact you have the opposite) in cleaning up before showings, etc.

If you don't want to deal with it, move. If you feel like you're getting a good deal or the hassle of moving overrides it, then stay. If you never want this to happen again, buy a house.

This is just reality of renting.
