I recently leased a house (I do not live in the same city) to a family on 6-month lease term. They just moved in. But they are not paying even the 1st month rent and I found they are telling many lies for many information they provide. I greatly appreciate your opinion on how to handle this situation.

If they haven't paid rent, you can issue a 3-day eviction notice. Contact the sheriff in the city where the house is; they'll be the ones doing the eviction.

i'm uncertain which state you're in so i will in easy terms talk from the perspective of my state, Georgia. You extra effective than possibly are going to ought to bypass to courtroom. First you should deliver to the tenant previous due notices for each month they're previous due spelling out the charges owed. keep a replica on your information and take to courtroom. next you should make a perfect call for for the valuables. In writing is maximum suitable. You or somebody else desires to bypass to the homestead and the two hand furnish it to the tenant in easy terms or tack the interest in a sealed, addressed envelope close to the door in a conspicuous place. Then mail a replica to the tenant on the valuables handle. in the experience that your objective is to get the tenant out of the valuables do no longer settle for any partial money. next bypass on your county clerk's place of work and report a Dispossessory action form. you're doing this to guard your supplies and your hire. A sheriff will furnish a summons interior 7 days. The tenant would bypass away immediately. If no longer, you should get a Landlord Tenant lawyer and prepare to bypass to courtroom. this would sound like loads of artwork yet, you fairly have no different "criminal" techniques at this element. interior the destiny you should handle this way of undertaking no later than the 6th of any given month. on no account wait this long. endure in ideas this would properly be a organisation!

Consider hiring a property management company to handle this rental. They'll do background checks, process non-payment steps and get maintenance quickly.
A 6-month lease is pretty short, I doubt they ever intended to pay you or stay the full amount. Proceed quickly or they will be gone in the middle of the night....

First of all, you should have done a background check on anyone you were renting your place out to. Secondly, you might need to file a claim with the court to serve them papers on breaching the rental agreement. Please don't take the neighbors word for whatever negative information you are receiving on these tenants due to they might be judging them. You need to call the tenants and discuss your concerns and if this doesn't get you the rent money, then proceed with the courts. Good luck.

Immediatly kick them out before you are out the money of the full lease. Document any lies you are hearing, record any conversations you are having on the phone, saying why they are not paying the rent, save letters. Then take them to small claims court. In a lot of states recordings are inadmisable, but they are a good scare tactic. I really hope that this goes well for you.

Follow due process by getting a legal eviction notice.Or>>>You may want to get them to apply for Social Services immediately.By signing a landlord statement for them,,Social Services will put them on the right track & will be a definate income for you & they will send the rent directly to you so you will always receive it. And they will help the people find steady employment if that is what is needed.

If they don't pay, then file for eviction based upon non-payment of rent. Your state may require that you give them a notice first. Some states don't. Find out the law in your area and follow the procedure.
I find it kind of hard to believe that you let people move in to your property without them paying you first.
You can't evict them for being liars and you should have checked them out BEFORE they moved in, not after.

there are many ways to do it, legal ways and illegal ways. Turn off the supplies i.e. water and electricity. Pasting a big poster outside the house asking for payment. Get a law pp to solve the problem. But my dear friend, try to assess the situation before taking any drastic action against the family. Are they in need of the cover? Do they have any other means to survive? Is ther any children in the family? of course, most importantly, are u able to allow them to take cover at u premises at your expense? and for how long? good luck.

my parents have some similar properties & when someone doesnt pay their rent our real estate agent sends them a letter, a nice one at first, telling them to pay the rent. after that, they send letters saying that if they dont pay rent, they get evicted. it might b a good idea to get an attorney to write one of the letters if things dont improve.

Show up un-announced when you know they will be home. Bring 1 or 2 very big friends with you. Face to face tell them they have 7 days to vacate the premises. They will get the idea you mean business.
