I am going through my 1st eviction ever.Tenant owes me 8600$ in total including 2 months rent+ Pet fees+ late fees+ court fee .Writ of possession has been obtained and eviction day is tomorrow.Will you accept 1/2 of the payment as the tenant says not to put the stuff outside but will move out on Sunday as their moving truck is scheduled on thursday.Or will you just kiss good bye to $8600 and move them out.
