raising the rent
I have never raised the rent because the people I rent to really are busted , but with taxs going up I have to , I know what I should get, if these people do not want to pay , I would have to evict , Can these people fight the eviction saying they cannot pay the rent , Its cheap right now.

As long as you are following the lease agreement and proper notice is given to raise the rent, than you are within your rights. If the tenant does not or cannot pay the increased amount, that tenant has the option to move-out. If the Tenant does not move-out and you accept an amount less than the increase, beware! When you go to court to evict a tenant who has refused to pay a rent increase but has continued to pay the old rent, it is not an eviction for non-payment.

Rick, Generally you can not raise rent in the middle of a fixed term lease.
