I’m new to Landlord-ing and have a tenant who won’t pay

[Jesus Peralta]

Hello, I’m new to the landlord business and have a tenant who owns a mobile home on my property but owes taxes on it. They always pay late and I have sent a pay or vacate notice within the time frame required by law. Now it has been brought to my attention they won’t be able to pay. they also have a dilemma now because they can’t get a permit to move the mobile home off the property because of the taxes they owe. I have not started the litigation processes yet but does anyone have any advice of what I could do as far as getting the mobile home off the property? Located in Texas by the way.

You could offer to buy the home for the taxes owed and then either rent it back to them or re-rent it to another tenant. Just a thought
