As a complement to my real estate practice, I'm a constable in Salem for ALL civil process, from 14/30 Day Notices to Quit, Summons and Complaints, evictions, subpoenas, probate and family court documents.

Probate and Family Court process served statewide and countrywide.

A note to landlords, make sure your 14/30 day notices are incontestable in court. Have it served by a constable. If you need help with a tenant who just doesn't get it, call me at 978-430-1448. The process is easy, convenient and incontestable in housing court.

You can email me with any questions as well.

All landlords end up with a bad egg at some time. If you haven't, you're lucky...for now. But for the most part, speaking for myself, I've had some excellent, respectful tenants. Tenants who pay their rent on time and sometimes before the first of the month. One former tenant baked me lemon bread every Christmas. Some even shovel the snow! If something needs to be fixed, they call me rather than wait until it's unrepairable. I think my tenants realize that my houses are in prime locations, units are in great shape, tenants get along with other tenants, I'm fair when they have special requests and they have respect for me and the work I put into my properties.

For the most part, when it came to the few times I had to serve notice, the tenants left without too much confrontation mainly because I had EVERYTHING IN WRITING. That's the key to successful terminations.

I've learned enough to represent myself in some cases, but I DO recommend a lawyer for the difficult ones.

Oh, go to any reputable bookstore or Amazon.com and purchase a tenant/landlord law book or reference guide for YOUR state. AND READ IT!
