MScolumbia, serve them the day they are late and get them the heck out.
For everyone in general, I ALWAYS serve a tenant the day after the rent is due if it is not there. I don't take any cr@p. I am not a bank that approved a loan to them...tell them to go somewhere else to borrow money - i can't afford it. My mortgage payment is due but if I don't pay it, I don't have a house.

on 12/30/2008 Go to your local courthouse and they will tell you the steps and forms needed to evict and get a financial judgement against somebody. It is not hard, you just need to do the steps correctly and there aren't that many steps. Don't let tenants intimidate you, all the more reason to get rid of them.

on 11/6/2008 I HAVE A TENANT WHOM IS TELLING ME THAT SHE WONT LEAVE THE APT. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE FROM FEMA ARE TELLING HER TO STAY OR THEY WONT GIVE HER ANY FINANCIAL HELP OR A SHELTER WERE TO STAY... I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE DISASTER HAPPENED IN SEP. 13... ON THE 1ST OF SEP. WAY BEFORE THAT HAPPENED SHE ONLY PAYED A THIRD OF THE RENT ...I WAS LENIANT AND TOLD HER ITS OK GIVE ME THE REST ON THE 10TH... ITS NOW NOV. AND SHE HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANYTHING FOR THE MONTHS THAT SHE HAS BEEN THERE NOR WILL SHE LEAVE THE APT. SHE STATES THAT FEMA HAS TOLD HER TO SAY PUT OR NO HELP WILL BE GIVEN... NOW I CHECKED WITH FEMA AND THEY SAID THAT ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS TELL THEM HER NEW LOCATION AND THAT THEY WILL SEND HER HER HELP THERE .... SHE STILL REFUSES TO LEAVE AND WILL NOT PAY ..I HAVE SERVED HER A VERBAL AND COURT EVICTION..WHAT CAN I DO???
