Rent not paid. Property managment expecting eviction end of 2020.

[Mike Rev]

Hello friends,

Tenant stopped paying rent in April, no communication, no May rent.

Property management is expecting to be able to evict by end of year with the backed up courts.

No rent coming in, mortgage and other fees still due. Property managment fees still due.

Please give advice on what you would do in this scenario. Also looking for a recommendation for a great evictions lawyer in Charlotte, NC.

Thank you for your advice.

Mike

Since you are looking at 9 months of no income, I would offer the tenant a 2 week or 4 week rent buyout to get them out of the property. A couple of my Clients have doe this rather than wait for the courts to unclog. It falls into the current guidelines. Make sure they get the check on the day they are out and turn over the keys. Property manager should change out locks at the property after they physically turn over the keys.
