Ideas for Motivating Tenants to Move Out on Time
I have tenants who are scheduled to be moving out on July 9th. They were late on their rent last month and have yet to pay their rent for this month. I filed their eviction on the 10th (the first day I was able to file by state law). Before these tenants stopped paying their rent, I secured replacement tenants for their apartment who are scheduled to move in a week after the current tenants were originally going to leave. Based on the current situation I am concerned that the current tenants are not going to move out when they are supposed to. I made a cash for keys offer to incentivize them to move out, but they are refusing to engage with me. Do I have any other options to motivate them move out on the 9th as planned? If I wait for the full eviction process to run it's course, it may be another month and a half (at least) before the new tenants can move in. Any advice would be appreciated!
