First eviction situation

Aaron Moore

Posted

Found myself being nice and gave my tenants(inherited tenants) 2 weeks to be completely moved out or else I'd continue the eviction process due to non payment of rent. Tenants told me yesterday that everything was gone from the apartment except the furniture and that they'd get that next Friday since they didn't have the money for a u-haul so I said ok(again trying to be nice). I show up today and to no surprise basically everything is still there. This is my first eviction situation so at this point should I give them till next Friday or should I move on and take them to court even though they don't have any money and can't sustain a job or working phone?

@Aaron Moore You can always stop an eviction process if you need to, but you can't go back in time and start it.

Odds on you will end up evicting them based on the situation you've described. Start it now, It will save you money if they do end up going through the entire process or it could motivate them to leave (for real this time).
