Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I have a tenant that has been late numerous times in a one year period, and when i say late its maybe the end of the month. She never calls to say she is going to be late or make arrangements to get the rent paid in a timely manner. I have to call her and I get the response that I dont know when i will be able to pay. I even offered to make arrangements by paying semi monthly but no feed back. When something breaks or is not working she is quick to call, and wants it done right away. I Always get them done in atimely manner. I dont know what else to do. I given her severaLl notices, and i dont hear from her. Well her lease is up and i still havnt received rent for January. Lease was up on the 14th of January. Monday i will be giving her a 7 day notice. I think i have bent over backwards and given her enough time.

If you gave your tenant the notices, and waited out the proper amount of days it is time to start the eviction process. You must now seek relief in court. You should go to the Small Claims court for the jurisdiction where the property sits. The court clerk will tell you if you are in the right court. Then tell the clerk that you want to file an eviction case, and the clerk will give you the proper forms to fill out. There will be a filing fee. The court clerk will set a Court Date for the eviction case, and will have the local Sheriff deliver what is called a "Writ of Forcible Detainer to the tenant. This Writ will tell the tenant that they are being sued for eviction, and when and where the court date will be.
