Look for violations outlined in your lease and keep hammering those....at best you can find enough to warrant eviction, but by the time you do that, it will be close to the lease being up and then don't renew.You won't change this behavior...at best you lessen the issue until you kick them to the curb......

Property in San Francisco area, tenant late for pymt for the first time, extremely demanding & difficult to deal with (that shouldn't warrant an eviction though). 5 day grace period has passed, we are 3 days past due date and he is not being very communicative.

Also, as the amount of the raise increases, the level of exposure to the firm's E&O policy necessarily increases which may warrant a premium on legal fees. 

Having said that,if you don't qualify for a conventional loan or if your property doesn't qualify for a conventional loan (think seriously non-warrantable condo) then a portfolio loan would be your next stepBest of luckStephanie

They literally said a warrant for my arrest would be issued.. over grass.

Sure, the landlord should've had the certification of occupancy current but still doesn't warrant losing $120,000 in rent. 

I also found out that a resident who owns their own trailer has 90 days from the warrant to find somewhere else to live. 

Be FRIENDLY (professional & polite), FIRM (establish a clear rental agreement and enforce the terms), FAIR (abide by the law and consider what is reasonable),  FAST (attend to matters in a timely manner) and FLEXIBLE (if the situation warrants it.)Make the effort to establish and maintain a good landlord-tenant relationships. 

Again, its just a ballpark to determine whether a deal warrants a closer look.

I mean I guess it is, but I would hope that her future income would be sufficient enough to warrant this debt and pay it off.
