Rented to Three Friends
Hi; Just starting out in renting properties in Delaware. I have a five year plan to quit my job! I just purchased my second property recently and remolded it and made the mistake of renting to three friends. The two guys agreed to split the rent until the other tenant got a job. I asked for a copy of their pay stubs, called their jobs to ensure they were employed and did a basic check by googling their all of their names. I din't find any thing so I had all three sign the lease. They seemed honest and assured me they would pay their rent on time. Of course; Their first month Tenant one paid his half of the rent but Tenant Two disappeared not paying his half of the rent. After threatening court Tenant one agreed to cover the total rent and did 15 days later. Tenant One agrees to cover the rent from here on. Can I put tenant Two out ?
Does any one know if I can legally put Tenant Two out or am I still stuck with him since he signed a one year lease with his two friends. Also are any free ways to do better credit checks or should I be paying for credit checks!
