Run an eviction case through to filing
A non-payment case that runs over three weeks, handled in one channel: the notice dates tracked against the clock, the AppFolio ledger and the mail history reconciled when they disagree, a part payment that resets the maths, and the filing packet assembled for a person to approve.

Day 9 of the notice period, and the notice is the weak part of the file.
- Balance · $2,880, being two months of rent plus one late fee
- Notice served · 21 August, posted and emailed the same day
- Proof of service · the email is in the thread. The photo of the posted notice is not in any folder I can read
- Resident contact · two replies, both disputing the June credit rather than the balance
Before filing, two things need a person. The posting photo has to exist somewhere, and the June credit the resident keeps raising is real: $340 was applied in June and the AppFolio ledger and the owner statement describe it differently.
What is the credit actually for?
A partial refund for the four days the unit was without hot water in June. AppFolio records it as a rent credit, the statement to the owner describes it as a maintenance concession. Same $340 either way, so the balance does not change, but the resident is reading two different documents.
That is worth answering in writing before a filing, not after.
Marcus found the posting photo on his phone. What is left?
With the photo the service file is complete. Left: a written answer on the June credit, and the filing packet itself.
I have drafted the credit explanation for you to send, and assembled the packet: the AppFolio ledger, the notice and its proof, the mail history, and a one page summary of the dates. Both are waiting on approval in your direct messages. I do not send resident mail or file anything on my own.

Heads up, a payment landed. $1,200 this afternoon.
That changes the case, so I have stopped the packet.
- New balance · $1,680
- Effect on the notice · a part payment does not by itself restart the period, but it does change what a court sees and it is the first payment in nine weeks
- What I would do · hold the filing for a week and put a written two payment arrangement in front of them
The packet is intact and dated, so nothing is lost if the arrangement fails and you file next week.
Agreed. Draft the arrangement, and remind me on the 8th either way.
Arrangement drafted, unsent, in your direct messages. The remaining $1,680 across two instalments alongside September rent, and it says plainly that the filing is paused rather than dropped.
I will raise this thread on the 8th with the balance as it stands that morning, whether or not the first instalment arrived.
