Thank you for your quick reply and for your links. Yes, in retrospect I think it would have been much better to have my cousin start the eviction process but still not sure he would have as he is very timid in nature and let it get to this point. I accepted some risk in buying the property without being 100% certain and am now paying for that mistake (literally). Spent most of my day today starting the formal eviction process and learning that none of the prior notices via text or face-to-face are of any use. I think it was more wishful thinking, laziness and a little bit of hope mixed in that this would be easy. I learned today after this crazy lady freaked out and called the police that this is going to be a lot more involved. Thank you again for the resources you linked. Much appreciated.
