Tenant Non Payment of Rent this Month
Hello BP Family,
I have a tenant who has not paid rent this month because she got into a car accident and waiting on collecting TDI. She texts me this today. I have not gotten a response back on when she will be able to make a rent payment for the month of February. Any advice on how to approach this situation. I already know what I am going to do, but wanted to hear everyone's feedback if they have gone through this before.
Thanks
Ray

@Raymond Hill
Send the notice to quit let her know that she has to pay or the eviction process will start. She should know that her problems can not become your problems or this may happen multiple times for multiple excuses. It is never easy to do this but what happens if she falls behind this month then you are further behind in the process. Let her know that you have to follow the lease tell her your lawyer said you can not show favoritism towards one tenant or another it puts the “blame” on the lawyer not you. I just had to do this with a tenant and it worked out well.
