Dealing with Overdue Rent in Florida with Pending Foreign Registration

[Mike Romano]

Hello,

I'm an Investor, and I've just made the move to Florida. Unfortunately, I forgot to file for foreign registration. ( I have a Massachusetts LLC) Meanwhile, I've got a rental property with a tenant who's overstayed their lease (it expired a month ago). Despite sending three notices, the tenant is unresponsive and owes three months' rent. My lawyer is on the case for the registration, but it's been 35 days, and I'm itching to move forward with the eviction. Any advice on what steps I can take while waiting for the foreign registration approval?

Thanks a bunch!
