Tenant Isn't Paying - What can we do
I have one tenant refusing to pay and isn't being very helpful. I purposed cash for keys but still waiting for her decision, if she stays what can I do?

We are not in Conn, but here is what I did to get a tenant to pay / move. We provided the tenants with 3 options; 1 - get on a payment plan - we absorb late fees and they pay a portion by Friday, 2 - be named in a lawsuit in small claims court for all of the rent owed plus late fees and served them when discussing options, 3 - move out in 2 weeks and we forgive the outstanding rent. They chose option 3, it is a variant of cash for keys. We tried working with them (5 adults in a 4br SFR) for two months to no avail, they simply chose not to pay. Also note that there is a moratorium on evictions where we operate.
