Eviction at the last month?

[Idan Narotzki]

Hi all,

I am a new out of state investor. I have SFH in Kansas city, MO, that is managed by property management. I bought it on May 31 with tenants (that are renting...)

I'll be glad to get your perspective on this topic. My tenant's lease is ending on July 31. My PM told them we don't want them to continue (30 days in advance).

They are making excuses not to pay this month rent (such as they need to pay another deposit to a new house).

In addition, they owed from last month late fees (75$) and another missing (100$). The rent for July should be 900$.

Not sure if I should start an eviction process ( as far as my understanding it will cost 500$+120$), or just to let them go.

What would you do? What do you think I should consider?

Thank you very much for your help!

I would probably discuss with them the fact that you will need to start the eviction process if they don't catch the payments up.  You may not follow through but you do want them to pay what they owe.  In the end you will probably turn them over to collections.
