On the other side of eviction lies unplanned tenant turnover of which I have done 3, 2 due  to eviction and 1 due to tenant death.Every single one of those tenant turnovers has ended up costing at least $15k (repairs and upgrades needed to attract new tenant, lead compliance costs,  loss of rent waiting for eviction date and loss of rent filling tenant vacancy).I haven't read anything in what you said that would make me feel I could justify embarking on a course of action that could end up costing me that kind of money.Nothing.If my tenant has financial issues and I pile on late and legal fees on top of that I am making those tenant turnover costs more likely, so I always look for different ways of dealing with this.
