I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my haircut. I love my new style. The haidresser cut more off than I had anticipated- but in fact, she did a great job and it suits me better. I've already recommended the place to friends.

I'm not about to start ranking the horrors visited on the human body this summer, from Ebola in West Africa to bombs and bullets in Gaza and Israel.
But thousands of particularly excruciating deaths may soon be added to the list by the Sunni extremists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, the terrorist group that is sweeping through parts of Iraq and establishing its own state.
According to The Post's Loveday Morris, the militants have surrounded 10,000 to 40,000 members of a religious minority sect, the Yazidi, on a barren mountain, where the refugees are beginning to die of thirst and hunger. The Yazidi, who ISIS considers apostates, fled there when the jihadi forces overwhelmed Kurdish fighters in the nearby town of Sinjar.
Children and older people are succumbing in the 100-plus degree heat, Morris reported in this terrible dispatch. There is no place to bury them on the rocky hill. The Iraqi government has tried to drop water to them, with little success.
"There are children dying on the mountain, on the roads," Marzio Babille, the Iraq representative for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said Tuesday. "There is no water, there is no vegetation, they are completely cut off and surrounded by Islamic State. It's a disaster, a total disaster."
As this barbarism continues, I asked Jeffrey Berns, president-elect of the National Kidney Foundation and a nephrologist at the University of Pennsylvania, what these children may be going through.
"Thirst, as you probably know, is one of the most potent drives for behavior we have. It may be the most potent we have, more than even hunger," he said.
"People are going to be miserable."
The body is about 60 percent water, and under normal conditions, he said, an average person will lose about a quart of water each day by sweating and breathing and another one to three quarts by urinating, he said. In the heat and under more difficult physical conditions, that amount increases, he said.
If it's not replaced over time and dehydration becomes severe, cells throughout the body will begin to shrink as water moves out of them and into the blood stream, part of the body's efforts to keep the organs perfused in fluid.
"All the cells will shrink," Berns said, "but the ones that count are the brain cells. They don't operate normally when they're' shrinking." Changes in mental status will follow, including confusion and ultimately coma, he said. As the brain becomes smaller, it takes up less room in the skull and blood vessels connecting it to the inside of the cranium can pull away and rupture.
This man, who died of dehydration, during a wilderness survival exercise, suffered delirium and hallucinations before he succumbed, according to an Associated Press investigation.
Victims' kidneys may shut down first, Berns said, as they continue to lack access to both water and salt. The kidneys cleanse the blood of waste products which, under normal conditions, are excreted in urine. Without water, blood volume will decline and all the organs will start to fail, he said. Kidney failure will soon lead to disastrous consequences and ultimately death as blood volume continues to fall and waste products that should be eliminated from the body remain.
Sadly, children die this way every day in places around the globe where safe drinking water is not available. About 760,000 children die of dehydration caused by diarrhea, the second-leading cause of death in children under 5, according to the World Health Organization.

Granbury 8-Under squad reaches regional finals
Danny Guidry and his pals are doing something right.
For a third consecutive year Guidry, the head coach, along with assistants Todd Click and Randy Clark, have led their team to the Granbury Athletic Association 8-Under baseball championship.
For Guidry, that's a 75 percent success rate as he has been coaching in this division for only four years.
"We have had a great group of kids for some time, but we finally got the right group of boys all on the same team and were able to put together an all-star team that could compete," said Guidry.
He was referring to this season's run by the 8-Under Purple Pirates. They advanced to the PONY (Protect Our Nation's Youth) regional tournament and finished second in the Pinto (7-8) division, losing 20-7 to Aledo Orange.
In fact, both losses in the double-elimination tournament came to Aledo Orange, the first being 18-12. As of press time, Aledo Orange had yet to lose a tournament game this summer.
Granbury qualified for regionals by winning sectionals in Cleburne, outscoring three opponents 68-52.
In addition, the team finished runner-up in the Granbury All-Star Tournament and runner-up in PONY district.
Their overall record is 25-6.
"We added another very knowledgeable coach in George Grimm, and together we had one goal to start the season. We wanted to get a sign on the field with their names on it saying we were PONY All-Star champions," said Guidry.
"Needless to say, we exceeded our expectations.
"Winning the PONY sectional championship meant the world to our boys. They were on top of the world. The improvements they made over the past two months have been tremendous. They almost don't look like the same group of boys."
Like his young players, Guidry is moving to a different level. He recently signed on to become an assistant coach for Granbury High School, he said.
Some day these youngsters might be playing for him at Tidwell Field.
"I am so proud of them, and I will miss being their coach going forward," he said. "I know these boys will go on to be great baseball players and even better young men."

Sorry, out of print. Ebooks are available now.
Dear Sir,
My name is Fré and I am Belgian.
It seems that you and I have a thing or two in common.
Like yourself, I am also very passionat about pizzas. Also, like yourself I believe that the test of a good pizza maker is his (or her) cheese pizza.
Moreover, like yourself, I have had the pleasure of living in upstate N.Y.
In fact, as I am typing this letter, my mouth is watering just thinking about a delicious Brozetti's pizza. I'm sure that you can imagine how one can crave for something even after so many years have gone by.
It's almost spiritual!!!
Forgive my entheusiasm sir, but my problem, and the reason for writing this letter, is this…
For to many reasons to bore you with a list, I can't imagine my ever being able to return to the Empire State. Do you think you would be able to help me? Do you think you could teach me to make such a heavenly pizza?
I don't know how I could ever repay you for such a service except to say that if you were ever inclined to travel to Europe I could give you many good tips on what to see here in Belgium.
I anxiously await your reply as I remain…
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
After buying the PDF version of Passionate About Pizza: Making Great Homemade Pizza he says:
I am a divorced dad of 2 teenagers that has limited skill in the kitchen. This book is so well written and put together that it was simple for me to on the first attempt have success.
I made a batch of the basic sauce and dough exactly how it was described in the book. I was expecting to fill a trash can with my first few attempts but to my surprise the first was as good as the sixth. My kids and their friends eat every bite and one even said it was the best pizza he had ever had. This book is a life saver it will allow me to serve my teenagers pizza when they want it now because before it was out of my budget. I can't wait to work my way thru and learn as I go trying the different types.
Thank You for a remarkable book!
Here is another consultation between PizzaMan and a friend:
Think of the best pizza you ever had. Don't you wish that you could have that pizza again, maybe even all the time? If you are lucky, you can get that great pizza locally. However, if you are like most people, you just cannot seem to find the great pizza you want. If you live on the east coast, there are not very many Chicago-style or California-style pizzerias around. If you have moved away from New York City (or even upstate New York), you can only find great New York-style pizza in your memories. Well, if you cannot buy it, you can certainly make it. If you can buy it, you can certainly make one that is better!
There have already been a few discussions about Passionate About Pizza on Facebook. So, there is now a fan page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Passionate-About-Pizza-Cookbook-Fans/58905449185?sid=8891c79d461a2110dea7d2efee65d2d0&ref=s.
Please visit the fan page and show your support!
Bill Morris asked a couple of questions:
I am making the sour dough starter sponge. After leaving it out for a couple of days, can I put in a closed jar in the refrigerator. (Well it expand and break the glass?)
Also, on page 140ish, Calif sour dough pizza and the next style, do not state how much sour dough starter to use in the recipe. Can you please clarify.
P.S.: I bought 3 books and everyone loves them.
PizzaMan replies:
The wild yeast in the sourdough starter will slow down when you refrigerate the starter but it will NOT stop entirely. If you place it in a closed jar it may very well explode. Virtually everyone recommends that you use a loose-fitting cover for any sourdough starter.
The California-style Sourdough recipe was written to use the entire quantity of the Sourdough Starter Sponge recipe on the prior page; in other words, a cup of water, a cup of flour, and 1/2 teaspoon yeast. That works out to be something like 1 1/4 cup of sourdough starter if you already have one made. Depending on the consistency of your sourdough starter you might need to adjust the amount of flour you use when making dough to reach the consistency you prefer.
One buyer of my book just made her first pizza. Check it out at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=307053&id=1053367080&ref=mf#/photo.php?pid=307053&id=1053367080&ref=mf.
You might wonder who I am and how I developed such a passion for making pizza and writing about making pizza.
I began making Chicago-style pizza soon after I got married. My wife and I received a Chicago-style pizza set as a wedding shower gift. The kit had a deep-dish pizza pan, pizza cutter, pan lifter, and a pizza cookbook specializing in Chicago-style pizza. One day I asked my wife if she was ever going to make pizza; she said, "You go ahead." So, I did. I used the kit to make pizza quite frequently. I kept practicing until I could make a better pizza than most of the local pizzerias in the suburbs of Chicago where we lived at that time. After a while, I missed the New York-style thin crust pizza that I grew up with; you just could not buy that kind of pizza in Chicago when I lived there. Therefore, I decided to try my hand at making New York-style pizza. After another intense period of practice, I was able to duplicate and even improve on the New York-style pizza I remembered from my youth.
I practiced making pizza whenever I could. I made and served many hundreds of pizzas to my family and friends over the years. My pizzas became more and more consistent and I kept getting rave reviews; that is, when they were not begging me to make something other than pizza! Many of my friends said, "You should open a pizzeria!" Others said, "Can you teach me to make pizza like that?" I wrote this book to capture the techniques that I had learned and developed so that you can make great pizza, too!
The goal is to mix the right amount of the proper ingredients together to create uniform dough. Good dough has all the ingredients evenly distributed throughout the dough. There are two basic methods – the dry mix and wet mix methods. Both work well, so use the method that suits your fancy. I generally use the wet mix method because it gives me a chance to see that the yeast is active.
My father has been one of my pizza-making students for many years. He is on a cruise and sent me this note. That's the way to spread your passion for pizza, Dad!
Hi PizzaMan,
You can add a great footnote to your pizza fame; pizza from your book prepared aboard the Holland America ship ms Prinsendam on location at 62 deg. 36.09 min. South Lattitude and 95 deg. 44.84 min. West Longitude off Livingston Island, Antarctica. Our party of six enjoyed it immensely as we looked out at the frozen landscape of this amazing place. It was special in several ways, including the food.
The "pizza chef" did a pretty good job of making the peppers and feta recipe which I had jotted down on a note card. He didn't have the garlic in the right form, but what he had came through in the taste.
The whole idea came from a table discussion after the couple from South Africa introduced me to smoked eel. Very mild taste and quite nice. We then decided that we each would introduce something from our home countries. The pizza was my contribution.
These two couples are the ones that we gave your books too. They all profess to try making some of the recipes when they get home.
Here is a picture from the ship on the day this pizza was made:

So, lets proceed with part 2, a much detailed analysis on our current property scenario.
Let's look at our house price index from the last 10 years:
House price index from 2000-2011 rose roughly about 50% on average for the whole nation. And let's look at just KL:
For just KL, house price increases about a whopping 70% from year 2000!
The media and the people especially from the property arena might say, 'Of course la it's getting higher, it's inflation maaa!!'. Okay then, let's look at our CPI (Consumer price index) for the past 10 years to analyst our inflation rate:
inflation rate rose only 9% from 2000-2005
and from 2005 to 2010, it rose 14%. That make's the rough increase of CPI from 2000 to 2010 would be around 24%.
So, house price index rose around 50%, inflation rose around 24% from the 10 years period. Was it because we are getting richer? Let's look at the graphs below on our GDP per capita:
Our income seems to be congruent with the inflation rate which was about 25% rise from 2000 to 2011. So, where did we get the fuel to feed the property price? Now let's look at our debt:
Our household debt rose from RM200 billion in 2000 to RM600 billion in 2010. That's about 300% increase! Now let's analyst the composition of the debt:
It's not a surprise to see most of the debt which was more than 50% is because of property purchases.
So, in summary, clearly we can see that we are not getting richer as our income increases at the same rate with inflation! How can we sustain the 300% increase on our household debt? It's either we increase our GDP or banks will have to stop or strictly restrict lending. We are at the top of a cliff. It's a matter of time the bubble will pop.

Check out other loans that are currently fundraising!
Vazha is mainly busy with the family agricultural business. They have 5 milk cows, 10 sheep, and one pig. Vazha produces cheese and sells an average of 80 kg per month on local open markets. He also sells 10 piglets and 8 lambs in an average year. Along with the above-mentioned activities, Vazha is busy with a family-owned plot of land.

The family's total average monthly income is 700 Laris, including Vazha's father's pension.
Vazha has requested a loan to be used for renting a tractor to till the land and for purchasing fertilizers. After tilling and fertilizing the plot, Vazha will work hard during the spring and summer seasons. He hopes that the weather conditions will be favorable as well so he will have a good harvest in late summer, which he can sell for a suitable price through his known channels.

Grizzlies 96, Hornets 85
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)
The Memphis Grizzlies keep returning from halftime and imposing their style on opponents.
With an emphasis on defense and pressure to increase the pace, Memphis again used a strong third quarter to beat the New Orleans Hornets 96-85 on Saturday night.
''I think our focus coming out of halftime, understanding what we need to adjust, then going out and executing it, has been phenomenal,'' said guard Mike Conley, who led Memphis scorers with 22 points.
''We came in the locker room and said: `We have to do this, that and this,' and we go out there and do it.''
Conley, who also had eight assists, led seven Memphis players in double figures as the Grizzlies won their fourth straight. Tony Allen had 14 points, while Tayshaun Prince and Quincy Pondexter scored 13 points apiece. Ed Davis had 12 points, nine rebounds and matched his career best with five blocks.
Davis, who came to Memphis in the three-team deal that sent Grizzlies leading scorer Rudy Gay to Toronto on Jan. 30, said he is becoming more comfortable in his new surroundings and that the Grizzlies' defensive mindset allows him to roam more on defense.
''When you first get to a new team, you're a little like: `Should I do this or do that?''' Davis said. ''But I'm playing more now and just trying to make plays on the defensive end.
''I know there are a bunch of really good defenders, so I can play a little more loose, and they will have my back.''
Jerryd Bayless and Marc Gasol scored 10 points apiece, although Gasol missed all four of his shots in the second half. Memphis has won 12 of its last 13.
As evidence of the Grizzlies' third-quarter dominance, Memphis has outscored opponents by an average of 26.8 to 17.6 in the last six games, and that includes breaking even in two of those third quarters.
''Being consistent is probably the biggest thing,'' Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. ''Possession after possession, we come down and we don't make a lot of mistakes on defense.''
Anthony Davis led the Hornets with 20 points and 18 rebounds, while Ryan Anderson scored 17 points. Greivis Vasquez added 12 points and eight assists, and Eric Gordon had 11 points.
The Hornets lost their third straight and have dropped five of six. The Hornets also realized the turning point was after halftime.
''The game was close until the third quarter,'' Vasquez said, later adding: ''I don't think our energy is there like it usually is, so, like I've been saying all year, we've got to play with energy.''
The Hornets were playing their first game without rookie guard Austin Rivers, who broke a bone in his right hand in New Orleans' loss on Wednesday to the Los Angeles Lakers.
In the key third quarter, the Hornets actually pulled even with the first six points of the second half, but they couldn't maintain the push.
''We tied it up, and then we just got sloppy,'' Hornets coach Monty Williams said. ''For whatever reason, we couldn't capitalize off of the momentum we had to tie the game.''
After weathering the early New Orleans burst, Memphis stretched its halftime lead to as many as 14 near the 4-minute mark of the third. The Grizzlies built the lead on defense, as New Orleans connected on only five of its first 16 shots in the period and had three turnovers.
The Hornets were only 6 of 22 with four turnovers in the quarter.
Meanwhile, Allen was providing both an offensive and a defensive spark, scoring eight in the period. Memphis closed the third with an alley-oop to Bayless, then a 3-pointer from Conley.
That gave the Grizzlies a 78-60 lead entering the fourth, as Memphis outscored the Hornets 31-19. The Hornets could not cut the deficit under double digits in the fourth quarter.
Pondexter said the Grizzlies benefit from veteran defenders like Prince and Allen, plus the leadership of Conley and Gasol.
''These guys that have been in the league and are experienced, they help everybody stay focused,'' Pondexter said. ''That's been the biggest change around here. Everyone is focused in trying to get the win. That's all we care about. No one cares about scoring 30, we just care about getting wins.''
NOTES: Memphis F Zach Randolph missed his fourth straight game with a left ankle sprain. F Darrell Arthur sat out his third game with neck and back soreness suffered at Orlando last Sunday. . Anderson, who entered the game second in the league with 174 made 3-pointers, didn't hit one until just under 7 minutes were left in the game. He finished 1 for 5 from outside the arc. .The Hornets were 2 of 12 from beyond the arc, tying a season low for 3-pointers made in a game. .Vasquez has led or tied for the team lead in assists in all 63 Hornets games this season. . Memphis has now held 53 of 61 opponents under 100 points. . Conley had three steals, increasing his consecutive games streak with a steal to 52 straight. .At 42-19, the Grizzlies are 23 game above .500, matching the franchise best in games over .500. .The win was Hollins' 200th as an NBA head coach.

After previously announcing the feature and showing it off last month in a promotional teaser, Realmac Software is finally bringing the highly requested reminders functionality to the popular Clear to-do list app on both the Mac and iOS platform. The latest version also brings some extra goodies that add even more personality to the app like new sound packs. Check out the details below to see how the latest version of Clear measures up as an alternative to Apple's own Reminders application and other apps as well. Read more

Review: Fantastical for iPad completes the improved calendar suite… and it's pretty sweet
After first debuting on the Mac then joining iOS with the iPhone, Fantastical is finally ready to replace the calendar on your iPad, too. With Fantastical for iPad, Flexibits has brought the same, streamlined design and natural language parsing for quick event and reminder entry to the iPad. I've been using Fantastical for iPad for a few weeks now, so let's take a look at how it compares to Apple's calendar app… Read more

2/27 Update: It's live.
3/6 Update: Last round.
tl;dr Use this, not this, and read on to find out how and why.
Last September, Realmac released a new version of its to-do list app Clear that included visual tweaks and iOS 7 feature support. This version of Clear also ran natively on the iPad for the first time and was a separate purchase from the App Store.
This lead to a great deal of feedback from customers displeased with having to buy a new version of Clear for an iOS 7 update on the iPhone (especially when iPad support for the biggest selling point, but not every iPhone customer has an iPad)… Read more
Sync.ME adds 'Widgets' to Apple's iOS Contacts app
Sync.ME, a third-party contacts app for iOS with over 8 million downloads, just rolled out an interesting feature that brings new functionality to Apple's own Contacts app on iOS. As pictured above, the latest version of the Sync.ME app now adds a "Widgets" link within Apple's Contacts app that provides quick access to social network profiles for contacts and a number of other handy functions for quickly sharing content.
They are called 'Widgets', but in reality they are essentially quick links to profiles on social networks and other functions of the Sync.ME app. The interesting aspect is the fact that you'll no longer have to launch the Sync.ME app and can now access all of the "Widgets" functionality from directly within the native iOS Contacts app.
On top of links to the contact's Facebook, Google+, and LinkedIn profiles, you'll also find the ability to place and record calls over VoIP, quickly capture a business card using your camera, jot down a note, or add a reminder to your calendar for a specific contact. Other widgets will allow you to quickly share your location or a photo over iMessage or SMS, as well as post customized greeting cards directly to a contact's timeline.
To accomplish this, the app appears to use the AddressBook API's in a novel way that allows the app to automatically add a URL into a custom field for contact cards. That URL opens the "Widgets" section for any particular contact within Sync.ME, but the entire experience feels rather seamless. Here's how to set it up: Read more
Review + Giveaway: Velocity helps you get through your reading list faster
Velocity is a new speed reader app for your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad that helps you read faster by presenting one word at a time using a technique called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Studies have shown that using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation helps increase reader's reading speed because it forces the reader to stop reading out loud inside their head (subvocalization), and suppresses the tendency for eyes to backtrack the line while reading and searching for the end of the sentence. Generally a reader's average reading speed is two hundred words per minute, but Velocity supports reading speeds up to one thousand words per minute.

I was sat enjoying the storm clouds and light rays in the Bay off St. Kilda in Melbourne, Australia when I saw this figure walking along the beach. They looked very deep in thought, I wonder what they were thinking about?
I love the "mood" of this image, the way the figure is brooding about which is echoed in the broodiness of the sky. I am sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea (or Coffee) but I wanted to share it with you.

How to Evict a Tenant – The Eviction Process in 8 Easy Steps
Written by Marcela De Vivo on August 26, 2013
This article will guide you through the general eviction process and should help you with removing delinquent or deadbeat tenants from your rental property.
Eviction: It's Just Business
Being a great landlord doesn't mean that you're immune from having bad tenants. Yes, tenant screening is important, but even under the best of circumstances, it's not unusual for a well-intentioned tenant to struggle to pay rent from time to time.
So even if you have a "good" relationship with your tenant, sometimes they just won't be able to pay you. When that's the case, you simply can't let them stay free of charge, especially when there are others who will have no trouble paying you consistently.
Eviction seems harsh, but it's the business of rental properties. If a tenant can't pay, you have to remove them from your property. Sometimes, it's as simple as asking them to leave. Other times, you will have to go through the formal eviction process.
Regardless of the situation, before starting the eviction process, you need to know the proper rules and procedures. This process can be summarized into 7 steps.
Table of Contents
- Understanding the Eviction Laws
- Have a Valid Reason for Eviction
- Try to Reason with Your Tenants
- Give a Formal Notice of Eviction
- File Your Eviction with the Courts
- Prepare for and Attend the Court Hearing
- Evicting the Tenant
- Collecting Past-Due Rent
- Bonus Video: An Overview of the Eviction Process
Step 1: Understanding the Eviction Laws
The eviction laws are different from state to state, and it's smart to know and consider them while writing up your lease agreement, so that both parties know that such a document carries authority with it.
I recommend using a lease agreement that is written by lawyers, and specifically designed for your state. US Legal Forms has some great lease options that will keep you safe, legally.
If your lease agreement wasn't been based off of the state laws, or if you're unsure, you'll want to spend some time researching your current situation, and see if you can win an eviction case.
Be Familiar with the Landlord and Tenant Act
The Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) provides a more detailed explanation of the legal side of the eviction process. At least 21 states have adopted the URLTA as the foundation for their state-specific landlord-tenant laws.
Don't Take Matters into Your Own Hands.
"Self-help" evictions are illegal in every state. Even if the tenant is a deadbeat, a liar, and causing physical damage to your property, you CANNOT do any of the following actions without a court order:
- Remove the tenant's stuff from the property.
- Remove the tenant (i.e. hire Hulk Hogan to physically carry the tenant out)
- Change the locks or lock-out the tenant.
- Shut off essential utilities (electric, gas, water, etc)
- Unleash a family of skunks in the tenant's basement (aka, harassment)
In order for the courts to be on your side, you'll need to follow these rules closely, and make sure that you do not to give a judge any reason to doubt that you are an outstanding law-abiding citizen.
In some cases, a tenant will make it easier for a landlord to evict them by breaking laws, destroying property, or violating the lease agreement.
Say Goodbye to Your Friendship
Keep in mind, eviction will always sour the relationship between a landlord and tenant, but if they break laws in the process, the courts are more likely to rule in your favor. However, don't expect to remain friends with any tenant that you are forced to evict. Landlord Tip #21, describes why you should never rent to friends.
Step 2: Have a Valid Reason for Eviction
You don't want to start the process if you don't have a good and lawful reason to. Typically, the following reasons (given fair notice to the tenant) will be sufficient for an eviction:
- Failing to pay rent
- Causing significant damage to property
- Regularly breaking noise, guest, or pet restrictions
- Health or safety hazards caused by the tenant
Remember, you'll need documented proof of any claim against your tenant. "Innocent until proven guilty" is still overarching rule in the U.S. court system.
Step 3: Try to Reason with Your Tenants
If it doesn't look like the law is entirely on your side, or if you just don't want to spend the time and energy on an eviction case, try reasoning with them.
My suggestion would be to take your tenant to a public coffee shop and have a heart-to-heart chat about the situation. Often times, if you are "understanding but stern", the tenant will agree to leave on their own accord. I prefer to have this conversation in a public location because the tenant is less likely to make a scene.
Be Understanding but Stern
Use this "script" when talking to your tenant:
I realize that you're having trouble paying your rent, and I feel for your situation. The fact is that I need someone in my rental that can pay rent, and if that's not you, then you need to leave. Because I respect you, I wanted to give you a chance to leave on your own before I file an eviction lawsuit.
If I have to go through the eviction process, it will ruin your credit score, and you won't be able to get a mortgage, car loan, or any loan for a very long time.
When I win the case, I will also need to sue you for any back-due rent, in which I will eventually be able to use that judgement to garnish your wages. If I have to do that, it will involve your employer, and will be very embarrassing for you.
I don't want to do that to you. How would you like to proceed? Will you pay your rent immediately in full, or will you vacate the property ASAP?
Step 4: Give a Formal Notice of Eviction
If your tenant has chosen to be uncooperative, and you've established that you have the right to evict your tenant, you will need to make sure you follow the set legal procedures exactly.
One of the most important steps is to provide adequate "notice of eviction". This is usually a simple document or form that gives an ultimatum – telling your tenant why they are being evicted and what they can do to avoid that eviction; pay rent, clean up the house, etc.
Tips for the Eviction Notice
- It should include a deadline (date) to "pay-rent or move out".
- It should include the amount owed (including all fees)
- You are typically required to post this notice within X number of days before filing the eviction paperwork with your local court.
- This document should be taped to their front door, as well as sent via Certified Mail / Return Receipt Requested with the United States Postal Service (USPS)
- Make it easy on yourself – use a state-specific eviction form template.
At this point, it's their move…
Congratulations, your tenant now knows that you've done your research, and that you're serious about the situation. Usually, a formal eviction notice is enough to whip them into shape.
Otherwise, if the set amount of time (usually a week) goes by and nothing has changed, it's time to file the eviction with the courts.
Step 5: File Your Eviction with the Courts
Visit your local courthouse to file your eviction and pay a fee (try not to think about all the money, time, and energy that your tenant is costing you), at which point the clerk will schedule your hearing and will eventually notify the tenant on your behalf – via a summons.
You will probably have to show proof (via receipt from certified mail) that you have given the proper amount of time that your state requires for an eviction notice.
Step 6: Prepare for and Attend the Court Hearing
Gather all related documentation and proof of your claim. You'll want to have the following items at a minimum:
- lease agreements
- bounced checks
- records of payment of any kind
- records of the communication between you and your tenant (phone and email records).
- a copy of the written notice that you provided your tenant
- dated proof that the tenant received the notice (a signature from the tenant, or receipt from the Post Office).
Since a tenant won't be able to lie about not paying their rent (since they can't fabricate real rent payment records), their most likely defense will be to claim that you didn't properly inform them of the eviction. Be prepared.
From the courts perspective, you will have the benefit of doubt on your side (some landlords might disagree with me). Besides, why would a landlord go through the trouble to evict someone for no reason?
Even with that working in your favor, you need to step up to the plate, armed with all the right information. Do your homework before your hearing.
Remember to get some sleep the night before your scheduled court date so that you are attentive and confident during the hearing. Always be honest and let your documentation/evidence speak for itself.
Step 7: Evicting the Tenant
If all goes well in court (and it probably will), then your tenant will have a set amount of time to leave, which is anywhere from 48 hours to a week, depending on where you live.
If your tenant doesn't leave on time, you have the right to get someone from the Sheriff's department to escort them out and place their possessions on the curb. It's definitely not a favorable outcome, but it does happen.
Step 8: Collecting Past-Due Rent
Small Claims Court
Some courts allow you to combine eviction and small claims lawsuits if they are related and involve the same individuals. If this is the case, you can sue for any back-due rent at the same time as the eviction case.
If your local court does not allow this, you'll have to file a separate small claims lawsuit to pursue the owed rent money.
Garnish their Wages
If the judge determines that the tenant does owe you the past-due rent, you will receive a "judgement" in your favor. This judgement will be delivered in the form of a court order, which you can give to the tenant's employer.
This will force the employer to garnish the tenant's wages, and then pay you before the tenant gets paid.

Garnish their Tax Refund
Believe it or not, you can actually garnish their tax refund! RentPrep does a fantastic job of explaining this process in the article: How to Execute Tax Refund Garnishments for Past Due Rent.
Wouldn't that be a surprise when the tenant is expecting a $1,000 refund from the government, and it all goes to you instead.
Use a Private Debt Collector
Debt collection companies, like Rent Recovery Service, will help you collect the debt and will report it to the 3 major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). It is important to let the credit bureaus know about this dead-beat tenant so that future landlords will know to avoid him/her.
