Give the tenant an eviction notice for non payment of rent. Then, go to small claims court and sue for the rent that is owed to you. You do not have to put up with this. You need your money too for maintenance for the building. |

You need to contact an attorney. By the way, why are you in the property rental business if you dont know your legal rights. I suggest you buy a Nolo Press book on landlord/tenants rights and then become knowledgeable before you lease out your unit again. The little you spend will save you bigtime later. |

Oh my god...you are so gullible.
Most tenents would have been evicted after 2 months late.
You may as well sign the house over to them.
It's time to get them out..there are services that can do the work for you.
Just expect a house that will be damaged....renters are like that...especially when you evict them....they don't care..they just suck people dry for a free place to live. |

Good Luck. Depending on your state, you may not be able to kick them out until after the winter months. Worse, if you issued eviction notice, he's no longer responsible for any rent after that point. You can try having the sheriff serve him an official eviction notice. Maybe that will scare them into leaving. That's why it's very important to check a new tenants' residential history. |

Eviction is about the only way to get him out I doubt you can recover the money |

Hire a Landlord/Tenant attorney and take the tenant to court. |

Either take them to court. If you have the time and money. Or, cut your losses and kick him out.You can usually have the sherriff do this in about 10 days. |

Evict and file a civil suit. Apply a lein on something they own, like a car. They owe you the money, youhave to file to get it from them if they won't cooperate.
If you turn it over to a collection agency, expect pennies on the dollar on what is owed. |

Why would you let them get away with not paying rent for five months? |
|

Don't accept post dated checks' as mostly it's the case the funds are not in their checking account.
I would file court papers, have them delivered through the local Sheriff. I also would go to an attorney, and file the wages that he/she earns. Usually, when you have an entitement against the wages, you're the first to get paid. Than they get the rest.
I would talk to a local attorney asap.Don't fight with them personally, do everything legally so that you do not get physically hurt by them or that they will do damage to your property. Good luck. |

Have you even started the "legal eviction clock?"....good heavens....While each state is different.....you need to at least start the eviction process......too bad you waited so long......small claims have a monetary limit......so now you out some money at the very least......send and tape to the front door a 3 or 5 Day Notice to Quit or pay rent....take a copy of that together w/ a Declaration of Service and file it with small claims....they will then give you a hearing date....which then you must serve via process server ($90 or so).....
Unless.........you live outside the U.S. (the fact that you spell checks "cheques")...I'm guessing none of these rules apply....GEEZ.....google your area and landlord/tenant laws and figure it out! |

put a 30 day notice for eviction and settle it in small claims court. |

Better question: How can you call yourself a landlord and not know the answer to this question? I'm not trying to be rude, but didn't he sign a contract that stipulates what will happen if he doesn't pay the rent?
If not, you own the property - change the locks and put his stuff in storage for 30 days. If he doesn't pick it up - it's forfeited. Of course, check the laws in your state/country before doing any of these things. |

You can get a 3 day or quit notice at any stationary store have a sheriff serve it. Or a process server if allowed . He may try to con you again tell him pay up or get out its just business cause he did not keep his word when he said he would .I had someone bung my RV that was living in it didn't pay 6 month and they didn't Had the sheriff serve them they did not call or get out they built a wall around it So when they were gone we jerked the wall down and the police said all the contents of the trailer was mine .
They had beautiful TV Tons of change guns clothes and tons of food in it. They really wanted it back so I told them pay in full and its yours so that what they did 2 months later they played the game with the bank they were with and they lost the trailer.
This guy figures you won't put him out at Christmas surprise him and do it .If he cry and pleads tell him well go ask people for money this is a better time to borrow and get paid up because people will more at Christmas Sorry you need to pay your bills too.. They may allow you to do a lock out where you lock him out of his place and keep his stuff. |

You can take him to court. But be aware that won't necessarily get you any money - will get you a judgement saying yes, he owes it to you. Then you still have to try to collect.
If he's five months behind and lies about sending you checks, why don't you evict him? |

The best thing to do first to serve them a 3 day notice to pay or quit after that you send that with the rental agreement to an attorney or to court asking to start an eviction process on your tenants. When collecting rent, you should have them pay in an form of money order or cashier's check only. Also have him paid for any attorney fees. Depending on the state that you are in laws are diffrent, Im letting you know this because thats how it is in the state of California. You want to do everything according to the law. Have all documentation on hand and in writting. Hope this helps. |

Go over there with an eviction notice, they are obviously taking you for a ride. When you let them get away with not paying the first time, you set yourself up for a fall. Just think, What is easier for them to do, Pay or move? Why would they pay 5 months, when they can just screw you over. Congratulations for paying for someone's drug habit. |

You MAY be able to evict him and seize his possessions until
he pays ...At best.... |
