Q: Is a notice to vacate an eviction notice the notice says? I have 10 days to vacate,is this considered a lawful eviction
The notice is from a law office and they are also offering to by back the key to leave a month after the 10 day notice to vacate. I’m confused and I just want enough time to move all of my belongings
A: "Cash for keys" is a common offer to persuade a resident to vacate earlier than scheduled. In your case if there is a court ordered eviction date, you must follow the court order. Have you been to court for the eviction hearing? Is there an eviction order signed by the judge?
A:
Get in touch with the entity that is offering you $$ for the key. Make sure that it is not a scam and that they are authorized to act on behalf of you lender. The fact that there is a 10 day period from date of the writ being issued is important - so make sure you confirm with lender's attorney if the 'cash for keys" letter came from an authorized party.
