How long do you give a tenant before you start the eviction proce
Hey guys,
I have a bit of a quandary. My current tenant is 18 days late paying the rent on our property. I spoke with her last week and she said the payment would be in the account by last Friday with the late fee. Fast-forward to this week and now she is not responding to any of my calls, emails, or text. She didn't have the best credit history, but I took a chance on her. The property is in NC and I now live in Hi. In your experience how long do you wait to start the eviction process? With the distance I can't make a trip back home, so it will probably be through a lawyer. I am concerned I will be stuck paying multiple months rent trying to get her out if she doesn't pay. Any advice is appreciated.
