@Karen MargraveWith an extra seven (that's 50%) people, the wear and tear will greatly increase; there will be 50% more load on water and sewer systems; more laundry, etc.Your in a "lengthy eviction state", so, in your shoes, I would start the process immediately and issues he necessary notifications for non-compliance with the lease; if find a workable resolution, you can always halt the process.You could give them a deadline to have the numbers reduced (i.e.

File a small claims lawsuit since they did not comply with the deadline.

Always have a deadline that any deposit to hold a property will be forfeited by a certain date.

(I realize this was too much time) Two of the three ended up paying by my new deadline.

For the commercial tenant, we got close to her 60 day renewal notice deadline and discussed that she would like to stay but was concerned about rents raising.

However, while those phrases were good for setting the tone and letting her know this was serious, I still had to post the 3 day notice in June, and she paid 12 minutes before the 3 day notice deadline.

Give them a deadline.

The part she did pay, she paid after the deadline.

(after the 30 days, then you habe to schedule a new hearing date, so be proactive and try to do this a day or so after the 30 day deadline, or else these times between court visits can take weeks).  

She seems back down a bit by extending the 48 hour deadline to a week.
