Tenant hasn’t paid last month rent

Natalia Jimenez

Hello,

I have a tenant here in CT that is breaking their lease 4 months after moving in. It is a 1 year lease and per the lease I will keep the security deposit. The problem now is we’re half way through February and I haven’t received this months rent. They say they’ll get it to me before they move out on March 2nd. Which I’m starting to not believe each time I ask for the rent they say next weekend because they don’t have it. What can I do? If I get a lawyer do I have to pay the fees or can the court make them pay for the lawyer fees?

Do not keep any high hopes!!!

you can hire lawyer or try anything but chances are very very low that you get any $$. 

Just hope they do not take your appliances or damage the property!
