RESPONSE: Dear Cecil Harley,
Thanks for writing in.
You're going to need to serve each of them a notice to quit. After the time has passed you will need to bring the matter to court. You can either do this yourself, hire a lawyer or someone to act on your behalf. Our team can assist for a fee.

Wrong dates on the notice, can the landlord take me to Jamaica Court for eviction I did not pay my landlord rent on the first of the month when the rent is due. I paid him late. Last month on the 20th of April, a man came and gave me a notice. He put April 19 to May 19 for the period to move out, and signed that he gave me on April 19th. Can the landlord give me a notice dated in the middle of the month and be allowed to evict me just like that?
