Sadly that was for January rent.   They still haven't paid February.  Now they have no incentive to pay since on the court order I wrote no right to redemption.  This is the 4th failure to pay hearing in the 5 months they have been there.

Looking for advice from other landlords in Baltimore County.  So the tenant hasn't paid the February rent now.  They had a failure to pay rent hearing on friday but they got the trial date changed claiming they cant make it.    Whats my best option to get them out.  What prevents them from constantly postponing the hearing?   Is cash for keys my best option?  I have a feeling they will try to ask for a lot of money if i offer cash for keys.

They ended up depositing the rent into my account but said they would only do it if i took $50 off the late fee which I agreed to.  

Today they are late on the february rent.  I made the mistake of making the rent due by the 10th of the month.  I filed the failure to pay rent last week with the myrentcourt service.  This would be the 4th judgement so I as I understand they dont have the option to pay to stay anymore?

Tenant just sent a message saying they will  send the rent (no late fee) if they have to mail or go to the bank to deposit.   Cant tell if they are desperate or just wanting to make things difficult.

No wonder this person had specific instructions as to needing a receipt for the money order.  

What is the best way of evicting this person? Property is in maryland.  If i file for eviction cant they still pay the sheriff/court when they show up to evict? 

They just sent me another drawn out text about how they are too busy to go to the bank or the post office to get the money to me and my only option is to come pick it up from them in that one hour window.   I reminded them that the lease says they are responsible for delivering the money and i quote "I am not really concerned what the lease says.  My concern is you pick it up and thats the only option.  Im not going back and forth with you about picking up the rent. I have too much to do Im extremely busy for me to go stop in the bank and make a deposit all of that is  an inconvenience  for me to go to the post office mail it to you"

I really just want to get rid of this person.  They have caused so much headache its getting too much.

This tenant has just been difficult every step of the way.  They moved in August and have not paid their rent on time a single time so far.   I am just waiting to file  failure to pay rent again for this month because this time they will have no right of redemption on the 4th judgement.  I have offered this tenant Cash for Keys and they still refused to move out.  

They claim they are paying by certified check or money order when I come to pick up the rent.

Hello, I have a problem tenant and the latest is I have a failure to pay rent judgement against them.  Today is the day I can file for eviction.  Last night I get a text from the tenant saying I can come pick up the rent from them during a 1 hour window tomorrow.  

The lease agreement states that they will deposit the rent into my account at the bank.  I asked them to mail the check but they are saying I can only come pick up the rent from them during that 1 hour window.

Does this sound like something I should play along with?  They have been a pain ever since they moved in.  

Does anyone know in Maryland if this is true? I did overlook the fact that I needed to have the lead inspection done since my house is a 1969 house.  But the rent court will throw out my case immediately if i don't have this?
