Tenant contact during eviction process.

[Freddie Visitacion]

The tenant attempted to call me after not having any form of communication with me for a month the day before the sheriff is posting eviction notice at his door. He left a voice mail wanting to touch base. Is it my best interest to phone back or wait until the notice has been posted.

First note that I'm in Texas. Texas is very owner friendly. My office will talk the tenant but usually the tenant just wants the eviction case to be dropped on the "promise" to pay in the near future. To the beginning investor it may be very tempting but never drop the eviction until you have all the back rent and legal expenses in money orders or cashiers' check.
