Stuck with tenant with SSI income need advice

[Khizer Hayat]

Hi all

I've got a tenant who moved in on the 1st of Dec and paid her rent in cash and is on SSI income. For January she tells me they've mailed her checks to her previous landlord and she's had them remail checks which can take up to 10 days. It's Jan 25th and I'm still waiting.

I really do want to believe her as she is warm and gentle hearted, however I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone at the SSI office to verify her income.

My question is there a way to verify SSI income?

Should i give her a notice to pay rent or quit?
