@Rafael Rosario.... no I have not. I am so disgusted with their behavior I can not find in in my heart to    give them money to leave. I definitely want them out as I am more so concerned about the condition of my newly renovated unit.

@Carmen Futrell.... Thanks for the feedback. I've been in contact with tenant's 1SG and she reported issue to SSG. I am in the process of getting in contact with tenant commander.

@Jeremy Roberts....Thanks for the feedback. I just got off the the phone with my tenant 1SG and things sounds promising. She informed me that tenant is on a medical leave and will be by in a week or two. She said she would have a resolution for me by then on how I will get my rent and tenant transitioning out of unit. I will definitely keep you in mind if things go south.

@Ryan McKelvey..... The waiver of rights form is a good idea! This is the first I am hearing about it. Is this form something you've created yourself?

My tenant is active duty but is not deployed.  I verified his status via SCRA. This is a requirement for all summary ejectments in Cumberland County, Fayetteville, NC. It may be for the entire state, I am just not sure.

@Jack P.......My tenant receives a BAH which is twice the amount of his $600 rent. He receives the BAH in addition to his normal pay. His salary is much higher than my other tenants living in the same quadplex, whom have no issue paying.

@Brian Mcmenamin......Yes I did get a copy of his Military Leave & Earnings Statement. His income is more than enough to pay his $600 a month rent. I seriously believe there are some other underlying issues with this couple. The wife is extremely hyper active and is constantly moving about when holding a conversation. The premises is a mess!  I am  not interested in them as a tenant base even if they paid their rent on time. They sold me on the fact that they are a Military Family and I did not do my proper due diligence. Trust me this is not the 1st time that they are being evicted.

@Matt Shields ....Since the property is located in a heavily populated Military town, verification of a tenant's Military status is new  requirement of any summary ejectment.

Matt Shields..........Yes the husband is active duty and I believe they are going to try and use his military status to wiggle themselves out of this situation. The wife is a stay at home mom. They have informed me that they are not leaving their home. Rent collection is via my bank account. They have not paid Since July. They wanted to make a partial payment because dad has Cancer & is without food. I informed them that we do not accept partial payments. So their claim is that I refuse to accept their rent. I can not stop them from depositing their rent into my account if they choose to do so.
