Tenant despises owner after late payment eviction

[Stan Furman]

Repeated texts to this tenant re: late rent got exceedingly frustrating. Tenant was warned of consequences and he texted "see you in court". He WILL lose. But, now he's got a job and is paid up. Won't speak to me; won't respond to texts. Although he hasn't told me, there are a few maintenance issues which I'd be nglad to fix. If he was allowed to stay, it would be his $$ (rent) paying for repairs. I recently texted him that I'd like to change air filter for hot air furnace......no response. Think the $$ is worth the stress?
