Nightmare Tenant Pt 2 - Advice from other investors in Virginia?

Shane Welch
  • Norfolk, VA
Posted

Hello,  

Long story short, I have a tenant that has made it clear she does not intend to pay me at all. She has not paid me rent for the month of February all the way till now.  I had an eviction set up for yesterday, however with the COVID thing going on, it has now been pushed to July 8th.   At this point, even if there was no damage to the property that is almost $5,000 that I am owed.     

I have even asked if she would consider a cash for keys option, which she told me she did not want to do, she wanted to wait for the new court date.  Also, tenant has no job, she drives for "Postmates" full time, and claims to receive disability.  She was an inherited tenant.

My question for Norfolk investors is,   what is the process of reclaiming my money? Since she has no job i cant "garnish" wages, and from a quick google it seems I cant touch her disability check (if she even has it).  So what can I do to get even SOME of my money owed back?   Thanks.
