Is tenants usually told if they don't leave during notice to quit they'd be facing eviction and have it on their record?
Hello Mary, typically, landlords do inform tenants that if they don't vacate by the end of the notice period, they could face eviction proceedings. This could end up on their public record. However, this can vary based on the location. Could you please tell me where you are located?
