My tenant refused to talk with me in person or on the phone, only email. It was her last month of the rental agreement, and on the 5th day we gave her her eviction notice. I sent her a email telling her to pay or get out. I should have put and get out instead. She is now claiming I gave her a choice. We have served her with a forceable deatainer, but she claims she is not liable for rent because I gave her a choice. Isnt the signed rental agreement what the courts will go by? Or will they take the email as a legal document?

hi debbie the lease is the legally binding document. the email wasn't signed by both of you. explain to her that it was a type-o and that she needs to vacate the premises or you will have to have her escorted off.
