How would you handle this situation?
I have a quadplex under contract that I am due to sell in late July. One of my tenants is behind on rent. Her rent is $850 per month and she has only paid me $291 for June, nothing for July. Every date she tells me she will have money by, comes and goes with nothing. Her phone is disconnected so I have no way of contacting her except for email. She informed my maintenance guy who lives at the property and collects the rent, that she will be moving out so that she doesn't fall even more behind. She hasn't told me this. I do have last month's rent and security deposit for her. The only notice I sent her was a Notice to Quit on 6/21/16. The timeframe given was, "immediately." No amount of days was given.
Obviously, the sale is all that is important to me. Otherwise, I would have started eviction over a month ago. At this point, what is the best way to insure this sale closes, and closes on schedule? The buyer is using VA financing and plans to live in another unit.
How would you handle this situation at this point?
