Dealing with non-paying tenants in your primary residence

David DeLeon
Posted

I'm currently living in Texas in a 4 bdr house as the only leaseholder. I'm renting out the other rooms while I save up. But one of the tenants I brought in is not paying his share of bills. I've told him to leave, given the 3-day notice and he keeps bringing up renter rights like he's immune from any consequence. I don't want to go through the eviction process. What are my other options?

Edit: I forgot to mention my landlord is alright with me subletting and knows I'm having issues with this tenant. And its only an oral month to month agreement with this problem tenant.

Lol.

Doesn't want to listen. Doesn't want to evict. Has no lease in place. 

Resort to beating his a** and throwing his stuff to the curb. Old fashioned way. That'll do it.
