As a neighbor I would prefer that to the alternative lengthy process waiting for several years of unpaid taxes to pile up, ordinance violations, etc., to trigger a government possession of said property, meanwhile the property has turned to blight and hurt my property's value.

Evicting the tenant should be a Plan B or C, since the eviction process can be very lengthy and costly.  

I have yet to have a stripper apply that didn't have a lengthy arrest record (generally drugs and prostitution) that disqualified her long before her source of income was considered.  

You can see that the overdue column has a red dot meaning this account is way past due.  743 days past due to be exact, and the rent was $700.00.  

Of course, I never assumed a lengthy process, but that's just the risk you take of doing real estate business!

It seems like my lengthy posts are not getting past the flaggers

Assuming the PM isn't going to bend the rules.I'd set up to get copies of the bills, or notifications if they get past due, if possible, and put a clause in the lease that says it's mandatory the utility bills are paid on time, and if they are not, it would be a breach of the contract and they could be evicted.You could have the utility company notify your manager, I suppose, of overdue bills, and put in the manager's contract that they are to give a 3 day notice to pay the utility bill or quit as soon as they're notified the tenant is behind. 

You should have an attorney draft a partnership agreement based on a decently-lengthy discussion with them about the goals of the partnership, rights and responsibilities of the members, etc. 

If they don't pay for the repairs, yes I will evict and it will come out of their sec. deposit and/or money judgement anyway.They have plenty of time to speak with their lawyer regarding the validity of the charges during the lengthy eviction process.

For an overdue update to this post:@Alexander Felice spot on.
