Tenant is a month behind! Help!

Patrick Moore

So my basement tenant, which I inherited, is now one month behind. He's been late almost every month since I closed on the prop. He is on a m2m lease. He does pay his late fees but he's never been a whole month late.

I think it's time to give him the boot.

The prop is in cook county.

My question is this:

How do I get rid of my tenant the quickest and easiest way? Should I try a cash for keys thing? Should I just give him a pay or vacate and give him 10 days?

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!!

Contact a local real estate attorney and pay for some advice. Each state has different rules. You don't want to do something that violates the tenant's rights and gets you sued.

Good luck,

Ted
