Eviction Notice the week before Christmas

[Logan M.]

This year I have felt extra Grinch-like.

The problem is that I created payment plans with two tenants who have flat-out lied to me and based on our procedures we begin the eviction process.

Should I have waited until after the holidays?

You’re going to skip January when they’re working on paying off debts other than yours too right? And then skip February as it’s valentines and they have to spend your money on their loved ones. Maybe you can sneak an eviction in to March before Easter without coming off as the villain?  It’s like you’re trying to find the perfect time of the year to break up with your girlfriend you caught cheating on you. 

maybe write them each a check for $1,000 for the rent you’ll lose every couple weeks until you feel good about it. And obviously erase any amount they owe you.  

I assume they’ll be living rent free way past Christmas and new years. What if you started a month ago, way before Christmas and you were about to actually evict them this week?

Ps. This is all before any actual lying/stealing by the tenant “during Christmas” that would really sit wrong with me. 

Good luck and be thankful you can afford to lose a few thousand to feel good. That’s a great place to be.

Pps. As I write that maybe you get these people evicted ASAP then donate those thousands to a shelter for homeless and hungry people who didn’t steal from you?
