Your Honor,
I am writing to inform the court of the efforts I have made to serve notice to my tenant, [Tenant’s Name], who resides in my basement. The tenant's lease expired on [Lease Expiration Date], and I have provided a *-day notice to quit, which was not complied with. Consequently, I served a *-day notice to vacate by:
*. **Posting the Notice:** I posted the notice on the door of the tenant’s residence on [Date].
*. **Photographic Evidence:** I took a photograph of the posted notice and sent it to the tenant’s last known phone number. However, I am unsure if the tenant received the message, as I am unaware of her current phone number or address.
*. **Tenant's Absence:** The tenant is only present at the property *-3 days every * weeks, making it challenging to serve the notice in person.
I have made every possible effort to comply with legal requirements for notice delivery under the circumstances.
Sincerely,
