I need to get rid of my bad tenant

[Peter Goeller]

Hello BP I Bought my first rental proprety 2 years ago here in the Worcester Massachussets area. Its a 3 family house and it came with a set of tennants... They where paying way under the market rent so I made a lease raising the rent closer to market rent. When I presented it to them they had no problem paying more but they never signed it. Its been a few months with late as usual payments but they stopped coming in. One of the tennants lost her job and is waiting for unemployment, or her stimulus check to come in. I'm all done with these tennants and I want to get them out. I really hope I can do this without a formal eviction. Any advice on what to say to them and how to go about having this conversation would be greatly appreciated.
