After the 3 days notice to quit , then what

If you are the renter you move out

If you are the landlord and they don't move out, you file a legal eviction in the housing court to have them physcially removed.

I am a new landlord. After the 3 day notice's been served with no result do I immediately serve the eviction notice? How do I do that?

You need to find out what court handles evictions where this proerty is located. Usually it's a Justice of the Peace or a Magistrate... something like that. If you go into their office they'll have forms for you to fill out to start the eviction suit. (They may or may not require a copy of the notice you gave the tenant. You'll definitely want it for the trial if the judge asks to see it.) They'll charge you court costs and charges for service. Then the sherriff or constible or someone similar will serve the tenant with notice of the trial date. Typically if they don't show up you'll get a default judgement. If they show up to defend against the eviction then you'll both present your evidence. Assuming you get a ruling in your favor they'll have a set time to either appeal or move out. Then if that date comes and goes and they're still there you go back and file a writ of possession. They'll be notified again, have a few days to get out. If not, you'll pay the sherriff to meet you at the property and escort them out while you change the lock. The disposition of any property left behind is handled differently in different places.

Do you have a written lease? Where are you located?

I'd recommend visiting the sticky at the top of this forum for the link to your state's landlord/tenant property code - for starters. You have a lot of homework to do. As a landlord, if you don't follow proceedures properly you can be sued or countersued for large amounts of money and be stuck with less than desirable tenants living in your property. If you're already having this type of problem I'd start brushing up on things FAST. Visiting this web site is a great start.
