Deposit rental income from a tenant I'm evicting?
Hi there,
I have a tenant that I am in the process of evicting due to having two pitbulls. I served him on 7/15 with the hopes of him being out by 8/15 -- he's still not out but I'm giving him until the end of the month before taking him to court.
He paid full rent on 8/1 in cash (which is how he normally pays). Is there any reason I shouldn't deposit this money? Somebody suggested that depositing the rent was essentially an agreement that I'm allowing him to stay and I wanted to get the groups thoughts.
Thanks!
Robert.
