Tenants bank account frozen
Should I start the eviction. Here is the quick story. I have had this tenant, single male, for 2 years and he lived there 3 years prior to my ownership. He has mostly paid on time. I made one exception and he has paid 1 late fee. 1 year ago he was hospitalized for a few weeks with serious medical problems. His story now is he went back into the hospital (which I believe) and that while he was in there his bank accounts where fraudulently withdrawn and they are all frozen for 2 to 3 weeks. Why would a bank FREEZE your account? I tend not to believe for fraud....more like creditors, irs, ect. He asked for a free months rent which I said no. I told him I would give him until next month and he will have to pay 2 months rent but I will wave the late fees.
Should I start the eviction? I don't want to piss him off in the face of his medical problems.....but I don't do this for charity.
Thoughts?
