Serious Miscommunication

[Jaxb]

I have a friend who owns a home and he has a roommate living with him. He says that he told his roommate to move out in 30 days and he gave him an eviction notice. After the 30 days, he told his roommate that he is passed the deadline to move out according to the eviction notice. His roommate claims that he never received the eviction notice and that he never heard my friend tell him to move out in 30 days. In my opinion, if both of them think that they are telling the truth, then there must have been some miscommunication between the two of them. Maybe his roommate was not really listening to my friend when he told him to move out. His roommate probably never bothered to read the eviction notice that he was given. He is going to give his roommate another eviction notice. What do you think? It's one person's word against another person's word.

My friend should have asked his roommate, "Do you understand that you have to move out in 30 days?" He should have made his roommate read the eviction notice as soon as he gave it to him.

I told my friend to have a sheriff serve the notice to him and to be the sheriff's witness.

He needs to have the roommate sign something that states all the relevant information so there is legal proof that the notice was received and acknowledged.

If it wasn't in writing and signed by both parties, the "eviction notice" isn't legal.

I agree. My friend should have had his roommate do that.

Record everything in text or email if there is no opportunity to have the other person sign something. Save every text or email that is part of that conversation. They are dated and very useful to prove that any notice was given in a particular day.

Tell your friend to get a pet skunk, put posters of the roomate all over the house with targets over his face and go around singing "Eye in the Sky" by Alan Parsons. The other guy will move out pronto, and get a restraining order against your friend to boot.

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking...
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusaation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

[CHORUS]
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry 'cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
'Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

[CHORUS]

Great idea! He will think that my friend is weird.
