Seeking Advice on Tenant Non-Payment and Eviction Process

[Cindy Prablet]

Hello all,

I’m new to renting out my property and facing a challenging situation with my tenants. Initially, they were paying rent on time, but over time, they stopped making payments and now owe $20,000.

I issued a one-month notice, but they are refusing to vacate, claiming they have nowhere else to stay. Meanwhile, I’m struggling to cover my mortgage, and they don’t seem to care.

I’d appreciate any legal guidance on how to proceed with eviction and recover the unpaid rent. Your suggestions would be extremely valuable.

Thank you,

Cindy

This may seem like overkill for one property, but I would recommend using a Property Manager and let them focus on those details.  Most PMs have a system in place to evict non-paying tenants within a few months which can save you money in the long run.  All you have to do is sit back and let them manage your property while you focus on other things like may expanding your rental property portfolio.
