I rented to a guy in Feb.  All of his references checked, had a good local job, was divorced but getting remarried, plus he was a nice guy.  I have three things I emphasize...Rent is due on the first, no pets, no smoking.

For 7 mos. he is Johnny on the spot with rent.  The eighth month we get in a texting battle about a late payment made with a bad check.  He covers all fees and we get back on track.  Month 9 he tells me he will pay on 3rd...thanks for the heads up, he pays.  A week later he says he changed jobs, likely will be breaking the lease two months early to move closer to his new job.  I explain he will still be responsible for any rent I miss until I find a tenant, to give me as much notice as possible so I can advertise.  I am really not too worried, I am in a 1% vacancy market in a very 'Hot' area of town.

As I was leaving the property last night, I see a cat in the window.  WTF?  He knows, we discussed it completely more than once.

What are my BMP options here?
