Depends on the language of the contract that was signed. My mother is facing the exact same problem with a renter in her house not paying rent. The contract he signed specifically address late payments as well as dissolution of the contract by either party so he can be held liable for missed payments. Read the contract and look for language specifically related to monthly payments, late payments and eviction.

You did have them sign a contract, correct?

With our tenants we give them an eviction notice the day after there rent is late. That way if they don't pay we can get the eviction process moving faster. We also have a $50 late fee. So when they do pay they have to pay $50 more. Here in ohio it takes a month from the eviction notice to get a court date. The court date is usually a month later. Then they get 30 days to get out before they get there shit put on the street with court bailiffs there.

I've only been involved in two actual taking there stuff to the curb evictions normally they leave on there own.

Isn't your property management company explaining the process to you? This should be a regular thing for them.

In my experience with tenants , the best way to handle this is to get them out the quickest way possible and with as little involvement with 3rd parties as possible. People tend to destroy things when they get angry and then you are left trying to collect off that, prosecute further for back rent and more. Sometimes the best way is to rid yourself of the problem and move on.

QFT...at least the OP didn't preface the post with "my lawyer"...

Anywho, OP your 'management' company should be doing the managing. It's odd you are even involved.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm only referring to a situation where the landlord evicts the tenant for whatever reason allowable by the lease - failure to pay rent, keeping a pet llama, etc.

The landlord is not "breaking" the contract - he is enforcing his rights under the lease.

Since Krynj seems to think otherwise on this issue, I'll use his state, Maine, as an example. Here's the statute for Maine, saying that if you're evicted, you may still be on the hook for future rent payments. This is very basic contract law.

Me. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 6010-A:

Jeeebus: 1
Gibson486: 0

OP has no business being a landlord

This is just one of 42,000 reasons why you never want to be a landlord.
