Tenant Not Paying Rent - Looking for Insight

Ben Capone
Posted

I have a tenant that hasn't paid rent. This is my first time dealing with this problem and looking for some insight on what my options are. 

After talking with the tenant multiple times over the past month, it sounds like she started working for a fraudulent company and has not been paid for the past 1.5 months of employment (that's another discussion). Tenant doesn't have an update on when/if rent payment will be coming as she has been out any income the past 6 weeks. Rent is due next week and will be delinquent 2 months if not received.

Anyone dealt with similar situation? What are my options here? 

Appreciate any insight.

Rent is due when it's due. Her being scammed does not excuse her from all responsibilities.

She is late on rent. Start the eviction.
