hey all i am new here and am inquiring on a situation i have; i own several rental properties and one of my tenants, who has lived in her unit for 1 year, has paid her rent 2 days late the last 2 months and this month she paid 80% of her rent and claims she changed jobs and will have the rest in 2 weeks. Problem is, we had given her a new lease to sign and it will start next month but 3 times late seems to me that she cannot afford to live there anymore. Her situation has changed from when she originally applied and moved in hence the issues. Her sibling was living there too and moved out and shes left holding the ball. I dont have any simpathy for this kind of crap but she was an A+ tenant, the unit is in great shape, she is just going through a change. Do I move forward with filing for eviction due to non payment and cancel her new lease or let her pay in 2 weeks and be stuck with her for another year?
