Evicting for Late Payment

[Kerry Arm]

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond to my post, I really appreciate it.

I have a tenant who's being consistently late on making their monthly payment each month. It all began back in Aug of 2021, their not bad tenants but are always late. I only allowed it because they were experiencing some hardship during that time but it continued and Aug 2022 will be one full year.

They would pay a portion of the rent in the first half of the month and the second half in the last two weeks of the month.

Should I consider eviction since there seem to be know signs of they will start making on time payment?

Thanks again,

Kay

Talk to them.  Once they get behind, it is hard for people to catch up.  With one of my tenants, I collected half the rent on the 1st and the other half on the 15th of each month as they were paid every two weeks.  They took good care of the place and were good tenants.  They were in the same place for 12+ years until I sold it.  You can add a late fee if you want.
