Thanks @Perry Ivy.  The tenant finally moved out just as we were about to proceed with civil eviction charges.

Thanks, @Deborah Hardin, I will see if I can find that info on your website. The home is in Jonesboro. Personally I'd prefer to avoid having to sue them if possible!

Thanks for the research, @Account Closed.  My property management says the law changed as of the end of 2015 and there is no longer any criminal eviction in AR, only civil eviction.  Looks like we're going to attempt a variation on what I was thinking and offer the tenant a portion of their deposit back if they'll vacate the property quickly and in good condition. If they won't then they'll have to pursue civil eviction.

I've got a rent house in AR and the tenant is 2 months behind on rent and refusing to leave.  The property management company has given them a notice letter and they have not vacated (and said they will not).  The property management company is telling me the next step is a civil lawsuit.

This is all new to me... can anyone break down how the process will work from here if we go the civil suit route? Are there any options besides a civil suit.  I'm thinking, say, tell the people if they leave and the house is left in good condition I'll give them $500 or something like that.  Is that a good/bad alternative?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Thank you again, @Deborah Hardin and @Dale Thomas.  This is all extremely helpful.

@Dale Thomas have you had much trouble getting previous owners to leave the property after the sale?

Thanks, @Dale Thomas!  In your experience were the "Interested Parties" listed in the COSL information fairly accurate?  Or did you find a lot of discrepancies when you did your research?

Thank you so much! I actually read all the material on your site about tax deeds while I was doing my research. :)

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone who has experience and/or knows the laws concerning tax deeds purchased via the delinquent property tax auctions in Arkansas.  In particular I'm looking for clarity on this statement from the AR Commissioner of State Lands (the agency which conducts the sales):

The conventional wisdom on the internet is that a mortgage is extinguished by the tax deed sale in AR, but the best I can find in the state documentation is the above saying that it may be extinguished.

Does anyone have experience purchasing tax deeds in AR with an outstanding mortgage that can confirm the mortgage was extinguished (or not)?

Thanks!

Thanks for the information, Dale. I'm looking into tax delinquent properties in Arkansas as well.  Have you actually purchased properties in AR?  Have you been through a Quiet Title action?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking pretty seriously at my first rental property, an occupied 4-plex, and would appreciate any advice you all can offer. I've asked for financials, what other information should I ask for? Any special contingencies I need include with the offer for this type of situation?

Thank you!
