I would make it common practice to require a tenant policy be in place during lease term.

I am a living example that real estate, starting from practically nothing, can take you places.

Thanks.Very questionable accounting practices.

Yes they are practically giving away these cookie cutters new construction for low prices.

With that said, on a practical basis I have NEVER heard of anyone enforcing it.

Education: Stay informed about changes in landlord-tenant laws and best practices for property management.Starting your investment journey in a landlord-friendly state can provide a smoother experience and better protect your interests as a landlord.

If your current practices are not compatible with how your accountant will want you to record your expenses, it will be a major headache down the road. 

My assumption is that she'll say 30 days is not enough time to find a new place (if she can't promptly pay her under market rent, how will she come up with first and security deposit elsewhere), will not finish paying her May rent and won't pay June either so trying to see if it's best practice to have that eviction filing in process as an incentive for the tenant to move along quickly.As a note to others in a similar situation, what I've read here in the forums that I didn't adhere to was "stick to the lease" and if someone is a consistent problem, they're not going to turn on a dime and get better, you have to protect your investment and part ways when things aren't working.Any insight appreciated.

Thereason is not financial but practical.
