It doesn't matter if the reason is alcoholism, immaturity, depression, narcissism, or being a space alien.It's possible that a carrot/stick will work.

They usually go for the carrot in that situation, especially when they know there's a date the lease ends.I'm assuming they are reasonable people since they're renting in a place you are going to live.

1) Get a website.2) Allocate 1000 dollars to SEO, (and I do not mean hiring a SEO company)3) If you REALLY have to, buy cody sperber clever investor pancake or the one from Sean Terry4) Go through all the Investor Carrot tutorials (even if you do not get an Investor Carrot website)5) Spend up to 800 dollars on legal issues, (contracts, LLC, blah blah blah6) Spend 1000 on a list and 2000 on mailers.7) Pray to a God called MSOOTKAUG someone will call you.

From MY practical point of view, I think Podio as CRM + Investor Carrot (Website builder) are the best mix you'd want, which are much better than those claimed All-In-One CRM and that's for 2 reasons:1.

Easy to chase the shiny carrot or let life get in the way.

I'm new to google adwords and am planning on using investor carrot as my webpage.  

On my investor carrot website I received a new property lead.

Right now you have the carrot on the stick.  

Through the simple choice of making bi-weekly payments, as opposed to the default of monthly, we have cut 5-7 years off each amortization and reduced the amount of interest paid by thousands of dollars.Getting back on topic, we have used the carrot approach to convince tenants to move from cash to electronic payment (pay electronically and you save 5%), but have found the stick to be more effective in dissuading late rents.

The way I use the "Cash for Keys" scheme is like the carrot and the stick.I start the eviction wheels rolling with the official '10 day pay or quit' notice (don't know how your area works), and I also offer them X amount of dollars IF THEY LEAVE by an earlier date, and leave the place BROOM CLEAN.
