Late Rent Payments

[Michelle D.]

Hi there I have a tenant who has been chronically late with rent since the lease began, first it was a week late, then 2 weeks, then a month...tenant pays eventually after multiple phone calls and reminders. Considering eviction but scared of what I read on the Internet about Massachusetts. Wondering if the cost of getting a lawyer is worth the trouble? One year lease would go to month-to-month in December.
