Man I had the same thing happened to me.Pregnant, Bank account was stolen Etc.Even if she catches up, there will always be an excuse.For me 12 months of excuses later,I got paid a month late every month. it was 12 months of chasing. I still have to hire an attorney to evict. cut your losses and get her out before bill gets larger.good luck

Quote from @Julie Hartman:

I hope you ran more of a background check on her than just her income. She either has really back luck or she's playing you. She's not going to pay you. You should have already posted her. Letting things get to this point makes is much more messy and costly for you. And feeling sorry for someone doesn't do them or you any favors. How you handle this will depend on the laws of your state and what your lease agreement says. Unless her mother is also listed on the lease, I would stop communicating with her mother through text messages. You don't even know if the tenant is receiving the information. Put things in writing and mail them to her + hand deliver to the door. I would start by posting an eviction notice immediately and contact an attorney. She will likely give you another story and drag this out. Yes, you can certainly try telling her she can leave by the 31st and you will call it even. Though she may give you more excuses why she can't leave and you are back to square one. If her lease expires on the 31st, you should have already sent her a non-renewal notice.
Once you are through this ordeal, I would strongly encourage you to hire a property manager.

Good morning.. I just started the real state investing 2 years ago. I rented a unit to this girl who had a son was pregnant and was moving with her boyfriend. we ran a background and both seemed to make good money to afford the place. First month baby daddy leaves, her bank account was hacked and is being a play catchup ever since. I always manage to get pay a month late but she even try to pull from 401k to pay.I've try to help with assistant since shes a single mom of two and autistic kid.For the last two months her phone broken, doesnt reply to email and only way to communicate is her mom ,because  i went in person knokinkg on the door thinking she was gone. her Lease expires Oct 31 2023.i ask her 3 weeks ago trough her mom's tex  if she cant afford  the place let us know.I didn't want to start the eviction process since she always pays a month late. Now she's two months late owes me $2700,her lease is over this month.

should i negotiated and tell her to leave in two weeks an call it even? can i even do that ? or tell her Im not renewing the lease and she might stay longer with out pay.? I have never evict anyone but i know it can be costly. I appreciate all feed backs. thanks so much

Can someone please recommend a software for property management? Im having a real hard time with rentredi, I  was supposed to have a cession with someone and never called me, while I blocked my schedule for it. I try to open an account and now i have a block that they cant for some reason get back to me and solved the problem. its being over a month with the back and forth of emails and phone calls. i need someone reliable and trust worthy. 

I appreciate all your help

thanks











I heard about this new program. section 8 and Naca, teaming up with Bank of America.BoA Approving section 8 tenants with mortgages funded by NACA and section 8. How is this going to affect investors in the long run?. can someone elaborate some information. I know is big in Newark New Jersey. They said you can purchase a house with as little as to $1 , only applicable for lower income families.Did they solve then housing problem?



Thank you so much. good to know.
