Out of state eviction help

[Marisa Davis]

Hi all, I would appreciate any advice from those experienced in this. I own a rental property in Grandview Heights (Columbus, OH). I have given my tenant notice to leave the premises due to over a dozen lease violations (late payment/no payment, rekeying locks, neighbor complaints, police involvement etc.) Due to living out of state I’m feeling a bit helpless that she is not going to leave in the time frame I set. She also has not paid the most recent rent. Any advice on what I should do? Do I move forward with eviction early to save months of no payment? This is my first time experiencing this so any help is appreciated.

 I would hire an eviction attorney ASAP. You're going to need one to go to court for you anyway. Are you self-managing?
