I am going through my 1st eviction ever.Tenant owes me 8600$ in total including 2 months rent+ Pet fees+ late fees+ court fee .Writ of possession has been obtained and eviction day is tomorrow.Will you accept 1/2 of the payment as the tenant says not to put the stuff outside but will move out on Sunday as their moving truck is scheduled on thursday.Or will you just kiss good bye to $8600 and move them out.

Do they actually have that many pets or is a down on their luck relative asking them to take care of pets for a while etc.?

I also say no prior evictions, no pets, and no violent crime in the background.Demand on the rental market is very strong so I have no problem finding qualified tenants with that criteria.

Who knows maybe this is a Bigger pockets members pet project?

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

For example, If you have tenants that are consistantly leaving trash in the common area, having snuck in pets, or missed three or more payments can that be grounds for eviction?

Pet deposit is $500.

Bake the pet deposit into the rental deposit.

Good Day All!
