Eviction process vs Cash for keys?

[Kevin Hunter]

Hello BP Community! I'm looking for some guidance on what's best to get a tenant out as efficiently as possible. I posted last week under the title "How to remove a tenant, "softly"....Here's the update! Tenant is on MTM lease, I provided a 60day notice last week, it played out EXACTLY how I thought it would. She's now stating she will not pay rent the last 2 months and that I'll need to take her to court! I've told her that I hope she doesn't choose that route and as that would be a violation of the lease, at which point, an eviction process can begin. Rent is due the 1st of every month but grace period until 5th, my gut tells me she will not be paying anything for July...At this point what is the easiest? Do I "dig in" and start with a cure or quit notice to begin process after she's late OR do I attempt to offer cash for keys? I just want her gone and to start fresh but I also really don't want to give her money to leave! this would be my 1st time doing either process (eviction or cash for keys), and I hear the WAIT TIME on evictions take forever for Chicago.  Any insight or guidance would be appreciated. thanks
