Struggling with process for evictions HELP

[Lyndsey Whiteaker]

I have inherited all 20 of my tenants from buildings I have bought in the last 6 months. I have 5 tenants who pay 10-30 days late each month. I threaten eviction and send out 3 day vacate or pay letters after the 4th of the month but these people don’t seem to care paying the late fee each month and me not knowing if the rent will be coming in questions

Once you turn in eviction if you receive rent in the mail what do you do with it? Send it back and make them pay legal fees and let them stay?

After the 1 st of the month if you do not receive the rent what is your process and when do you actually turn in eviction?

I have heard every sob story in the book and with it being winter and around Christmas it’s like pulling teeth to get tenants to pay on time

Any advice is appreciated

Keep taking late fees. Turning a door is expensive. But when the leases are up, do not renew them. This seems to be the easiest way to deal with this issue.
