How can I get my rent payment?
The lease signed for one year, and it is going to expire in March, 2. The tenants due is $$2745. The deposit is $2000. If the tenant did not pay the electric and water bill, me- the landlord is responsible for the due with township ,which could be another $400. Also, if the tenant damaged my property or appliances, will be more loss.
Acoording to PA law, If I file the eviction now, it takes 2 weeks for the hearing, and another 21 days for them to move out. so by the time , they already moved out. so I do not think eviction will work except there is eviction report will stay on their rental history.
I have been a landlord for 5 years, and this is first time that I have to deal with. Please advise me what is the best that I can do to get my rent money. I already take photos of their cars, and I know where is the woman works. There is co-signer , I know where she rented a house.
Thanks in advance!

You are assuming the tenant is leaving March 2nd because the lease expires. What if they don't?
Start the eviction process now. Being served with notices and paperwork is a great motivator. It's unlikely you see your money, but you'll have the wheels in motion (if not a judgment in hand) by March 2nd.
