Eviction form question?

Brian White

Posted
I have searched and found one link for an eviction notice letter but the link is no longer valid . I have a tenant in Indiana who is behind on rent and I need to get the process started . I have read through the article on how to evict a non paying tenant but I am having no luck finding the forms to get started. Would anyone care to send me a form or direct me to a link to download the forms? Thank you in advance. Brian

@Brian White I guess it depends on what your township wants you to do. I am in Indy. There is no real correct form here. The courts here don't even validate you sent them a notice. Our notice is just a "Hey, we get it, times are tough!  You need to beg or borrow to get your rents because we don't want to file eviction, but our owners demand it......"

Our rents are due on the first and late on the 2nd. We send a pay or quit EMAIL on the 2nd. We give them 3 days to pay, or move out. We generally try to call or text after 2 days if they haven't responded. Most of the time they respond and inform us they are going to pay by X date.. If we(owner or us) are ok with that date we let it ride at $5 a day late fee.. We do tell them "You decided you would pay by X date, and we are okay with that... Now if you don't pay like you say you are going to, we will start eviction process, and when we do that, there is no going back..." 

We used to brag and boast about $10-25 a day late fees.. We switched to zero tolerance policy and $5 a day, and it was the best thing for us... Almost everyone pays on time.. Those that don't usually get paid up quickly...
