Tenant refuse to pay rent

[Hyeongyu Jo]

I have trouble with my househacking property. I am in 1 unit and rent out the other unit.

And My occupied unit I rent out to the roommates. and one of roommates make so much complaint about 2 month.

She just move in 12/2023 and left another 9 month of the lease.

She refuse to pay the rent because lack of maintanance, there's vibration sometimes behind the shower, cause lack of the support.

I already hire 3 plumber and they say it is okay to use it.

She never belive it and still want us to repair

Should I repair it? it cost at least $4000 but it still okay to use.

If she refuse to pay the rent, can I evict her?

If you have any idea, please let me know.

thanks

Serve her notice of late payment. Should she still not leave or pay, hire a lawyer for the eviction.  Once you go down this route, do not accept any funds from her.
