You would spend far more on Marketing, background checks, tenant placement, repairs, and possibly legal fees with the eviction process.  

You will get a ton more business, and their fees are easy to make up for...

It is my practice to sign a RE-14 early in the journey, but in good faith I put a $0 fee to exit the contract.

Feel free to shoot me a PM to discuss, I am happy to share knowledge and answer any questions you might have

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

They pay a fee and go on their merry way.

For example, most anywhere will get $700 room, $75 fixed rate utilities, $700 deposit, and then offer a 36 months, 12 month, or month to month lease ($350 fee if ending lease <90 days). 

File for eviction in court.There are many ways to skin the cat, as discussed in my book.

Keep your momentum going, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to bounce ideas or discuss a deal.

Here's an update: I ended up re-charging her a few days later with late fees and it went through.
