Advice on first time Eviction in Columbus.

[Dustin Li]

Hi folks,
RE investor here, going through first time eviction process in Columbus OH (first time ever). Property is managed by a PM, I live out of state. Most of my properties are near me in a tenant friendly location where buying investment properties have become insanely expensive. Tenant had a notice to vacate after 4 day grace period and lawyer submitted eviction to court last week (they are only late for July). I am waiting for a court date. I had a long conversation with my PM last week stating, I would like this to be resolved asap (either payment or quick turnover). Tenant is communicating with the PM, but has yet to secure assistance. Tenant is in middle of the lease and has paid on time until this month. 

As someone who has never been through this process any advice?  My PM is communicating with me, but is there anything specific i should ask them to do? Should I come in for the court date? What should I expect from this process?
