If however, they are intentionally avoiding communication in the way you described and forcing me to chase them down for rent; then I continue with the eviction procedure.

If this is not obvious to you, then I'm afraid that you may be making other similar mistakes in your business operating procedures.

This includes understanding regulations related to rental properties, fair housing laws, eviction procedures, security deposits, and more.

They know the procedure and the experts to use. 

Hello,I rentla property in FL. MY tenant signed a one year lease (Lease 1) and for the second year, I did a lease renewal using Rocket Lawyer lease renewal template  that refers to the Lease 1 for comprehensive terms ...

I am posting listings for my MTR duplex on Furnished Finders and other sites and am wondering if anyone has a template they use for their House Rules/Policies/Procedures?

What procedures are in place for the common areas of the house?

I can recommend services and procedures that we use but I'm sure I can learn from others and make improvements!!

IF they fail, you'll hire an attorney to evict and come after them for every dime.An even better idea is to not negotiate at all and just hire the attorney to go after them.An even better idea is to have policies and procedures in place that prevent you from letting them get this far behind.

Title requirements have changed, settlement procedures have changed, try that old double closing using the other guy's money.
