I have had rentals and rented homes for clients for many years. Over the years, the one lesson I have learned better than the others is that people must pay their rent or move.

The first time tenants are late with their rent I call them and tell them if they do not pay within 3 days the eviction process will start immediately. I do not care if they had car repairs or sick children or loss of employment or whatever else. These are hardships, but they need to pay the rent above everything else or move.

I am not their charity to let them live for free. I wish everyone would be like this and make people pay or move and maybe we can get everyone to understand that they pay their rent or move.

Thank you so much for the great blog! I cannot agree more!  My issue is the eviction process is very long (in NJ anyway) and many tenants "know the system" and will do things like break toliets in order to avoid having to pay rent.  Its amazing how well they know the loop holes!

Many landlords learn the hard way not to the nice guy.

Right on, Lori ... we have to stay firm on our rentals fees and late payments.  If you do NOT stick to your rental agreement, then they may have a case against you for allowing a modification to take place.  On time, or late dues, and then eviction.

Hi Lori,  Great insight.  Sometimes we train people how to abuse us.  Letting renters slide trains them well.
