Tenant Not Paying Rent; What To Do?

[Manco Snead]

Greetings,

Looking for some feedback and opinions on tenant not paying rent. 

Scenario: OOS duplex. One tenant has not paid rent for 3 months but has, way past due date, received rent $ from Iowa Finance (I believe this is low income assistance) for the first 2 months. I believe the property manager had to initiate the application process for Iowa Finance. This $ has not included the pet fee, which the tenant is now delinquent on.

I believe in working with tenants and this approach has worked out for me in the past with other tenants. Eviction seems to be the next possibility, but I want to give the tenant the chance to avoid this.

Anyone dealt with similar scenarios?
