Tenant repeatedly late on rent

Sagar Mylab
Posted

Hi BP, 

I have a tenant with a 2 yr lease that started the beginning of this year.  She has already been late on rent 3 times so far.   I've been sending her notices of late rent every time and this has continued to happen - even this month.  In this last notice, I notified her that her lease would be terminated & that I'd be sending her a 'move-out notice' if the rent is not paid by today.  I am relatively new to these types of issues since all my previous tenants paid the rent on time so I didn't have to deal with this till now.   

I'm sure this has happened to some of yall in this forum so I'd like to know what you did in such a scenario & any recommendations on what I can do if she continues to be delinquent & does not move out?   I have a mortgage to pay so I'd really like her to move out ASAP so I can get it back on the market for other tenants.

Ask them what is going on. Get a real answer. That can soften blows and often can do cash for keys to remove them from your place, which is more cost effective than eviction.  That said, if someone is late even once, then the next time they get a notice from me. The longer you wait - the worse it gets.
