Eviction already!? hasent even been 4 months!

[Maurice Smith]

I had a good tenant of mines moved out of state back in November 2019. left my unit absolutely flawless during his departure. very thankful for that because I was able to re-rent that same unit without any upgrades within 2 weeks! During this time, rents were going of a considerable amount in my area. went from getting $700/ month to $800 a month! that was the good news! now here goes the bad news! This lady I rented to passed my screening ( job, income, credit , etc.). Also she has 3 kids so in my mind, keeping a roof over their heads and paying rent on time every month would be her first priority! This lady has been late every month sense she moved in ( she pays her late fees) but she is paying rent every month after the 5th. last month she waited until the 11th to pay! I understand stuff happens, so I had my pm speak with her and let her know if this continues I will have to file a notice to pay or quite . she wrote me a check this month, come to find out the funds were never in her account and her checked bounced! I just done refi my 4 plex. During this time. I had an appraisal, the appraiser needed access to the storage units to get pics of the water heaters, and time was of the essence because I didn't want my locked rate to expire ( 30 day process I was on day 25). This tenet was the only unit we couldn't get access to ( someone changed the locks) my pm went to speak with her the next day to see if she has a key, and some dude that wasn't on the lease ( guessing her boyfriend) answered the door and said they never got a key and they never used the storage unit. so my pm assumed it belonged to the previous tenant. so we had the handy man pop the locks the gain access for the appraiser. There were a couple things in the storage some trash and some tools. I removed everything. about 3 days later, we get a call form the lady, saying that she had stuff missing from her storage unit and she needs it back. we returned everything and she try's to tell me that there was a $1200 saw missing and she will not pay the ret until she gets it back lol!! so her boyfriend that's not even suppose to be there lied to my pm face because he obviously was using the storage unit for his belongings when he wasn't suppose to in the first place! so now she is refusing to pay her check that bounced, so I went ahead and filed and evection on her! I guess we will have to wait and see how this unfolds? pm is confident the judge will rule in my favor. even if she was to pay the bounced check, I still want her out! just a head ace to deal with every month she was requesting to have something to be fixed. non of my other tenants give me these problems and they have all been staying with me for several years.
