First eviction ..

Katie Williams
Posted

I literally  just got a new tenant in mid March. Application was great, no evictions, good credit, good income. She was very nice, paid her deposit, paid her partial month (she moved in 8 days before a month so it was prorated). Communication was great. 

She had 3 NSF for her FIRST rent payment!

I sent emails, and today I called to confirm she’s getting emails of eviction notice - and her phone is permanently off. 

What should I do now? 
I was going to offer cash for keys but I can’t reach her. 
Should I show up to her door? If she’s even there.

Sigh….. everyone on here just read this post and immediately jumped to EVICTION. SMH this is why we are seen the way we are.

If this tenant successfully passed your screening and background checks and then all of a sudden just completely cut off communication with you to the point where her number isn’t working how do you know she’s even OK? Did something happen? Do you know if she’s been going to work? Have you reached out to her emergency contact to many sure she’s alright? She’s not laid up in a hospital bed somewhere?

If you’ve confirmed all these things then by all means proceed as the others above have mentioned. Just make sure your tenant isn’t kidnapped or even worse laying in the street somewhere first.
