Welcome! Since you're still in law school, take some real estate transactions classes and business association classes before you graduate.

@Account Closed I only suggested the addendum because the OP did not want to evict them so I only suggested possible alternative as well suggestions of agencies that may pay rent for the tenants. I did start out my career in Legal Aid but I no longer work there and have been in the private practice. Depending on when the agreed move out day would be, it wouldn't necessarily put her back 30 days ( as if she gave them to the end of month, considering Oct. is half over). I figured the the OP would be in the best position to determine if she felt the tenants would be type to stand by their word.

@Account Closed The addendum wasn't for them to sign away there eviction rights ( which I know you can't do). In my experience many times if the tenant sign an agreement to move out early they are more likely to keep it, most tenants understand how hard it is to rent once an eviction is filed. The time period could easily be until the end of the month ( or whatever time period you agree on). Also, it gives you another ground for eviction, especially if they are able to become current before the month is up and the money situation is still shaky and you don't want to risk no longer renting to them.

Go to the Great Lakes REIA meetings. I know that local hard lenders attend the meetings ( at least the Cleveland ones). I know that they have meetings in the Canton?youngstown area. Good Luck!

.I would approach them about an agreed move out date and have them sign an amendment terminating the lease. This would allow to avoid an eviction on their record and you the costs If an eviction process. Also, there may be some agencies that will help them pay their rent. If they call the United Way they probably can give them a list of agencies that offer rent assistance. If they are a veteran, have them contact the VA. They might pay you the rent while they get on their feet Good Luck!
