Tenant eviction help
Hi, looking for advice or a good contact to deal with a tenant that is refusing to vacate my property. He stated that he wanted to break the lease early and would leave by the end of last month. However, multiple excuses later (and no rent paid) he’s still on my property and I’m concerned he may not leave. Thanks!

Good luck, there’s been an eviction moratorium since COVID (Spring 2020). So no “notice to vacate” have been filed for about 15 months. It’s supposed to expire this month, so the courts will be flooded with evictions. Your best course of action is a letter and a lot of pressure.

Thanks! That’s been our strategy so far but not too successful. Just getting a lot of empty promises.

One possible tactic is to offer a cash payment to the tenant. That is often how banks handle people who won't leave after a foreclosure, and also to ensure that they don't damage the property.

Evicting is not easy, I wish you luck and gods speed getting them out.

How much is monthly rent? Let's assume it's $2,000/month--offer the tenant $4,000 (in cash, not a check) if they vacate the premises within 2 weeks and leave it in good condition. I know this sounds crazy and you're rewarding this person for bad / unethical behavior, but what are your other options and likely outcomes? You can try to evict, but even with a lawyer's help, this will likely take months, so you've lost $2,000 in rent each additional month. Plus you'll have to pay lawyer's fees on top of that. Let's assume it's $2,000 to get a lawyer to handle the case for you--if it takes three months to get the tenant evicted, going the normal lawyer route ends up cost you $6,000. Versus $4,000 to have him/her out in two weeks. Which outcome do you prefer? |

You certainly don't need a lawyer. When you consider the cost of filing and serving (about 300.00 in Sumter county) to start eviction you are better off offering 500.00 to leave within a week.
