Eviction procedures

[Freeman Schultz]

I am wondering about the following.

1. Tenant says they have no money for this month but they promise to make up for it by sending it next month. But they are still going to be a month behind. The tenant promises to make up for it a week later.

2. Tenant is late with the rent. Does not respond at any calls or letters.

From I have been reading and from the landlords and property managers I have spoken to, if the rent check is not received after the grace period the eviction occurs.  

Is it that cut and dry that there are no exceptions?
