The tenant’s cash flow problem is not your problem. You have to pay your bills too.
As a landlord, I can tell you that you need to set your own policies and never deviate.
Get yourself an attorney and have him begin the eviction process. Learn from the attorney until you can do it yourself[/quote]
And as I said, if your goal is to get the person out as fast as you can, the legal route isn’t always the fastest that yields the least amount of damage both to your pocketbook and to your property.
Notice i said “cashier check”. It avoids the bounce check thing. And if he/she can’t commit to that, your best option it to get the person out.
That said, renter in the hole ain’t going pay you back for an damage he does pissed off while you serve him an eviction notice imho…that is unless you don’t mind fix holes in walls, plugged toilets, cigarette butts in the airducts, trashed carpet, cracked counters, etc. Deposit aint gonna cover that, and good luck recovering that in small claims court.
