You should serve them a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit immediately. Then follow up by filing an Unlawful Detainer complaint with the courts.
Better yet, hire an eviction service or attorney to do it for you. The farther behind the tenant gets the less likely they will ever catch up.
You might also want to hire a good property manager to screen your future tenants for you.

Contact an attorney to start eviction proceedings on the tenant, and/or contact a real estate agent to sell the house. The real estate agent has probably dealt with this situation before, so can tell you what needs to be done to get rid of this property... and the tenants.

Listen, real estate is real estate. I would not just walk away from the home. What I would do is call for a lawyer to start eviction proceedings. Also, any damage or fees you will have to pay, use that as tax deductions. You could still come out on top, just don't give up. Good luck with that.

Has the thought of filing to evict the tenant for non-payment of rent occurred to you?

contact a lawyer. If you didnt sign a lease w/ them, you might be screwed, but the best thing to do is contact a lawyer, and document EVERYTHING on a calendar or journal or something so you are prepared to tell them everything thats going on.
