When to begin eviction?
Hi All,
One of my tenants fell on my property in late June. You can read more about it in the linked post below, but basically we filed a claim with insurance and were found not liable. She asked for money, and we told her that we are not liable and while we're sorry for her fall, we still require full month's rent.
My Q: Rent was due on the 1st. It is now the 8th. I believe she was late because she was waiting for the home insurance claim, which I understand, but now it's finalized and time to pay rent. At what point should I give some sort of notice of eviction? Thanks!

@Jennifer Jackson Congrats on getting paid but I would document this situation of her late pay i.e. text messages and dates of when officially paid. That way down the road, and hopefully it doesn’t happen, you have more proof that she is habitually late. Set a strict policy and standard for late pays and notices and stick to it. I learned the hard way by thinking with compassion in lieu of reality. Good luck
