What about other obligations? What I don't think you realize is that most landlords aren't rich (and that's irrelevant anyway); having non-paying tenants can cause the landlord himself to not be able to pay the bills. Then what? You'll both be out of luck.If a tenant cannot afford the home they are renting, then they should look for one that they can, don't you think?

If a tenant cannot afford the home they are renting, then they should look for one that they can, don’t you think?

I resolved the problem with payments long ago. I installed one extra lock in the door of the apartment. Every time I take new tenants I sign an agreement with them that I have a right to lock the door and do not pass them to the apartment if they delay with the payment. Now I receive payments on time and have good relations with my tenants. I rent out apartment in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine on monthly basis. I resolved the problem with payments long ago.
