Communicate with the tenant:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe first step towards resolving any issues should always be open and clear communication with the tenant.

Deliver the notice in person or follow the legal requirements of your jurisdiction for proper service.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wait_for_the_tenants_response\"><\/span><strong>4.

Reclaim possession of the property:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nAfter the eviction is complete, you can regain possession of the property.
