I live in South Carolina, and I have a rental property in Texas. I have a tenant who is a nurse with a decent income. She normally pays rent on time except for the last couple of months when she paid a few days late with late fees.  It's her 7th month running for a 1-year lease contract. However, she asked me if I accept the rent assistance. Also, the church called and left me a message if I was willing to sign the 1099. I have no clue about these matters. I told my tenant that the contract is between us and as long as she pays rent on time through charity or on her own, I don't mind but I do not want to be involved with a third party. So, my question is if there is any benefit or negative impact on me as a landlord to get rent on time, or during tax filing or renewing the lease? Should I go for it? Is it a choice  I can make or there is any law that I must accept regardless of benefit or not? Please suggest me. Thank you in advance.

I posted last time also about my tenant who was not paying rent and asking if  I could send it to the collection agency. I asked her to vacant my house before I file for eviction. She emptied my house with an outstanding rent of roughly 5k.  I don't live in Texas, but I went last month to check my property and found some of her mail where there were other outstanding bills and even an arrest warrant ( for not paying tickets I guess). So, I see a very slim chance of getting my money back. 
How can I get that money back?
I want to send it to the collection agency if that's possible. I tried to look for it and contacted a few but didn't get any response back. I would appreciate it if I could get any suggestions.

Thank you all for your help.

Hello, 

I tried to contact you but couldnot reach you. Could you please let me know the best way to reach you out.

I have a house in Texas and had to move to Michigan temporily for work purpose. I made a wrong decision of renting my house to a known person rather than going professionally with agency. 
Long story short, my tenant owes me 2 months rent and I have asked her to move out before her lease ends if she fails to pay the rent withinh certain date. So, as of now my understanding is she is moving out without having to file eviction. But, how can I collect my outstanding balance. How many days should I give her before sending it to the collection or if I can even send it to the collection? 
If so what is the procedure? If she says she wants to come up with payment plan, can I do that. What determines to send or not to send to collectiom agency?

Please help.
