Cash for keys during the moratorium

[Ishmael Johnson]

I want to get my tenants out of my property so i can do some renovations to force the value up and sell the property, but the tenants cannot be evicted. Is cash for keys a good strategy to do so?

It's about the only way to proceed if there are no lease violations. However, they don't have to accept your offer.  The lease term protects the tenant as much as it does the owner.  You may want to sweeten the deal by offering a realtor to help them find a new place and even arranging for a moving company.  The easier and less expensive you can make it for the tenant, the most likely they'll go for it.

Best...
