My First eviction

[Alejandro Ferrer]

Hello all, I need help. I purchased my First property 2 months ago and been dealing with a tenant whose unit is need of major repairs( Bathroom is leaking from tramp to lower units close,  new hvac, kitchen needs a new makeover) and more. We agreed and she promised through text she will leave by end of April with cash I offered. Now she is saying she needs 4-6 months and the cash, then she’ll think about it. she pays rent but it’s way lower what I can get once I’m able to rehab it but she might not leave in 4-6 months which I will be losing money. No lease. 

I’m thinking I’ll have to go through the eviction process. Does anybody know of a good eviction attorney in Chicago? How would you guys deal with this?

Did she say why she needs 4-6 months? For the right price, I'm betting you could tempt her to leave sooner. Definitely talk to an attorney to talk through your legal options.
