Tenants with Questionable concern
Ok....
The tenant is decent in the aspect that she pays on the 1st and she is a professional renter
second
the tenant payment posted electronically to the merchant site and was processed however within 24 hours they stated they are unable to post the account as the tenant has an account but the merchant felt their payment was a liability and would not release it. In this instance instead it was sent back to the tenant.
we sent the tenant a letter informing her of the issue and provided 3 days to resend her payment via mail in certified funds....
She does not plan on 3 days as she states she will send it when she is ready as she has a tight work schedule and can not send within 3 days although her bank confirmed the deposit...
at this point per her lease it is late.
poll:
eviction ?
Provide additional time due to merchant restriction on her payment?

@Ikenna Jones That sounds like a great tenant. I think you would be crazy to evict.
Why do the funds need to be certified? Is that the issue for the tenant? Because some people (myself included) would have a difficult time taking time away from work to go to a bank for a cashiers check. I could mail a check right now, I can use Zelle, Venmo, whatever else, but it wouldn’t be certified.
It sounds like the issue wasn’t the fault of the tenant. I would for sure work with them.
