But She Was Three Months Behind?

But maybe Lud Wid and her roommate thought that, because the third tenant was three months behind, they could just give her a minute’s notice. That’s not how it works, though. Evictions work from the time the landlord actioned the termination of the lease, not from when the tenant last paid their rent.

We need to remember that in this case, the two girls doing the evicting were not even the landlord but the tenants themselves. Maybe they would have been better off following their legal route, i.e., going to the landlord with their concerns and letting him do the evicting.
