How to Motivate Tenats to Ppay?
Hey BP!
My mentor has two rental properties in Baltimore and he prevouisly left in the care of a PM who was shady. So with his poor handling of the properties most have fallen in the habit of not paying for rent. Now that I am in charge, I'm trying hard to address their issues and make them feel comfortable. But, only 3 out of 9 have payed this month. What can I do to get them to pay or is eviction the route we have to go? Thank you for taking time for reading and asnwering my question.

@Jeromie Williams I would have talked to them before rent was due to let them know that a new PM is in town and you will 1) be addressing any significant issues on the property (there are probably issues) and 2) expect rent on time.
Notice to each unpaid tenant to pay or quit - following your state/city laws precisely. Show them that you mean business. Both on the upkeep of the property and collecting rent. Within a few days (I don’t know MD laws), the eviction process starts along with whatever fees are spelled out in the lease.
