Account Closed  this whole thing about a judge is just flaming bull crap they never get in front of a judge they can hardly do anything much less present a case in a court of law.. you guys with this judge crap get over it. 

The second group didn't exactly resist but they paid some rent and the property manager accepted it. 

A criminal takes the path of least resistance, so anything you can do to make it harder will help you. 

Ie paint: mold resistant paint, caulk: silicone bath/kitchen caulk, etc. 

If they resist, I'd give them a 3 day notice to cure or quit.

And I would have asked the tenants to sign a new month to month agreement and seen if there was any resistance.  

They are old companies resist to change.Good software is everything because you will have owner's portal where you could access online to direct and see their activities.

If the tenants are resistant, and do not mail in their money - you send them their "Pay or Quit/Eviction" notice, they will be more apt to respond once they get that notice.

I've been resisting the idea of my wife becoming a "real estate professional status" because she seems to have little interest in it.  

I didn't have late payments after that, except very rarely, and usually it would be a couple times a year with students waiting on their next financial aid payment.So, if you get rid of deadbeats, and go ahead and send some type of reminder, it will really cut down the late payments, in my experience.I really resisted reminding people to pay their rent at first, thinking I shouldn't have to be their mommy.
