Tenant Repair Overdue

Philip Mullinax
  • Columbia, SC
Posted

Hey guys,

I have a tenant I had to replace a toilet for at the beginning of the month due to their child flushing a number of toys down the toilet.  I paid the plumber directly with the understanding the tenant would be paying for it at a later time.  I gave them three options: they could pay the repair in a lump sum by the end of the month, they could make three equal payments over the last three months of their tenancy or it would be treated as additional rent and be due with their April Payment.  My question is if they do not pay via one of the three options should I move forward with the eviction?  Normally this would be a no brainer for me, but their lease ends at the end of May and I know the eviction process can take anywhere from 30-45 days in SC.  I appreciate any advice.
