I appreciate all the feedback.  I am a fairly new landlord.  I know Massachusetts doesn’t like landlords that’s why i am a bit hesitant to take legal action.  My tenant has used the housing assistance program this year.  It might be a good idea to hire a professional.  I will consider to invest in somewhere else.

My tenant owes almost 2 months of rent and her lease expires the end of this month.  She said she will pay in installments and refused to work with me for a payment plan.  It doesn’t look like she will be able to pay her rent.  I am not sure if she will move out by 9/30 either.  Should I give her a notice to quit now and then start an eviction process after 14 days or should I sit tight and hope she will move out the end of the month?

Thanks Charles!  I requested for the last month’s rent upon signing the lease which is for the month of September.  It looks like my tenant might try to move out without paying the overdue.  So i am curious if anyone has reported tenant with delinquent rent to the credit bureau.

This is my first post and I call it first step to success!!  I have a tenant lease ends on 9/30.  I have transferred the last month’s rent to my account and the tenant still owes most of July and full August’s rent.  Can I still serve my tenant a Notice to quit since I have collected the last month’s rent.  Also, has anyone reported delinquent rent to credit bureau?

Thanks in advance
