Michael,

My books are done the same way. She is being charged a late fee of $50.00. You are right the money that I received this month really cleared up September's payment and paid for a portion of October. Really October still has an outstanding balance of $600.

Michael,

My books are done the same way.  She is being charged a late fee of $50.00. You are right the money that I received this month really cleared up September's payment and paid for a portion of October.  Really October still has an outstanding balance of $600.

Does anyone know of a good but reasonable real estate attorney in Essex county?

I have a tenant that moved in August of this year.  She paid her deposit and rent up front.  My problem was I did not screen properly.  Now for the month of September I only received a partial rent.  In October I received a payment on the 19th (which is considered late after the 5th of the month).  I received her payment from an agency that help people wit their rent.  I sort of feel that this is her MO.  I tried to contact her by both phone calls, text messages and certified letters.  With no response from her at all to tell me when she was going to pay the balance.  Finally I sent another certified letter and told her that if she doesn't pay the balance of October's rent ($600) that I would not be accepting her November's rent.  Miraculously she finally contacted me.  You won't believe this woman called with complaints about things that needed to be fixed.  She said she tried to fix them herself and she did not want to bother me.  The nerve!!! She told me she would send me something on Saturday and then pay for November's rent.  I told her if I didn't receive the November rent then I would start eviction process.  Missy told me she knows the law and you can't eviction her for only one month's rent if the month is not up yet.  This leads me to believe this woman has done this before.  Should I seek professional help or what?? I'm really getting tired of her already and it's only been 2 months.  I sent her a text telling her to put everything down that was wrong in case this woman tries to escrow her money.  Help!!!

in and around these zip code area 27616, 27610 and 27603

Just as long as it's in Raleigh.  She has transportation.  Shaun any help is welcomed.  But don't forget her credit is not that good.

My daughter currently lives in Raleigh, NC and has bad credit but a good job.  She's currently a teacher in Raleigh, NC.  She  would like to move ASAP, her budget is no more than $900 per month.  If there is anyone whom can help, please let me know.  Thanks

Could you tell me the name of your eviction attorney and do they service Essex county?

Thank you for your help.  You have really helped me to confirm my decision. Out she goes!!!!
