Hi guys, pls I have a Tenant in my property in Texas that is giving us issues. She moved in June 20th 2024. She paid for June, and July. She has not paid for August, she has been giving us excuses and lies.  She said she had $1100 but she won’t drop bcos she will use for other things. That when we gave her an eviction notice on 8/22. She asked for more than 3 days. So we “verbally” said ok to few more days. Today she text that the AC isn’t working and we shd come fix it. We said ok (with thought that when she moves out) .  Then she texted later that “you better come fix it, there are 3 minors in this house”. We have not responded to her. 
it’s ridiculous. How will you guys handle this? . Thanks

I would send a service man out there , to look at the system , and then tell the tenant they have to order a part , you will let them know when the part arrives , but we will be over to collect the past due rent today .

 Thank you. Can I cut her water and just say I dnt have money to pay since she hasn’t paid the rent. 

Holy @%$@#%

You should get out of the landlord business. 

Seriously.  It's not for you.
