Forum / General Property Management / Evict or wait?
Here is my situation.I am a landlord i have contract end at the end of april. Tenent only pay for half of the rent for april. I don't know if i should wait until contract end or file an eviction. If i file an eviction, it could take month. If i let contract end, anything i have to do. Any advice?

RE: Evict or wait?
If it were me, I would wait. BUT I would continue with collection efforts, such as late notices and such. If your tenant leaves, owing rent this can be deducted from the security deposit in most states.
