Eviction implications for tenants?

[Idan Narotzki]

Hi All!

I've just bought my first SFH rental in KS, MO. There is some chance that I'll need to start the eviction process.

So, I wondered, what are the implications of eviction for the tenants? Is this something that they should be afraid of?

The background is that my current tenants, doing some troubles with rent payment, their lease ends on 31 July, and they bought a house. So, I am curious if it might be in their favor if I'll start the eviction process (since they got a house and maybe want a way out earlier from the lease).

Thank you very much for your help!

Since they already purchased a house I am not sure how the eviction will affect them. Normally, most tenants are not purchasing a house when they are being evicted. I imagine all states are a little different but usually the eviction stays on the renter's history for several years and can easily be checked during a normal renter background check. In my experience, sometime during an eviction process, tenants will make a "deal" with your attorney and agree to pay you back (and pay all fees) while staying in the apartment. This is actually just happened in one of my units. Other times the tenant will just wait out the time and then leave.
