how to make a tenent move out if he don't pay rent for a month? I'm living in Houston, Texas.?

Answer 1

I belonged to an investment group. Our membershio was about 1500 with landlords and investors from PA, NJ, DE and MD.
Suggestion: Look into joining a real estate investment group in your area. PARTICIPATE! BE ACTIVE!

With the exception of a few of us - who learned our lessons the hard way - most of the newer landlords and investors didn't bother to PROPERLY investigate new tenants - until they got burned.

One of the members has quite a number of properties - mostly single family houses and small apartment houses [not more than 6 units.].

When any one of his tenants decides not to pay, this is what he does: In a very nice manner he arranges a meeting with the tenant in the comfort of the apartment or house they are renting.

No voices are raised. No excuses or extensions are tolerated. "Ralph" [not his real name] makes this proposal:
A] He gives them 2 weeks to get out of the property. On the tenant's first day off after that two weeks, Ralph will have an empty rental truck in front of the property.
B] The tenant is to load all their possessions into the rental truck and the truck will be driven to the tenant's new residence.
C] After all the tenant's possessions are put into the new residence by the tenant, Ralph gives the now ex-tenant $500 cash.

No court, no ugly eviction, no damaged property. Simple, easy and effective.

Ralph gets his property back. Due to "normal wear and tear", it usually needs a few very basic cosmetic repairs - painting, locks changed, etc., the property is ready to be rented to the next QUALIFIED tenant.

What is QUALIFIED? A person or family who is ready, willing and able to go through the necessary investigations, which the applicant pays for, to rent that property:
A) A credit investigation through a credit bureau.
B) Verification of income and/or employment.
C) An investigation to find out if the applicant was in trouble with the courts.
D) Checking with the applicant's present and previous landlords and agents.
E) With very little notice, physically going to the applicant's present residence to see how the applicant and the landord care for that property.
PASS: Applicant gets the property.
FAIL: Applicant doesn't get the property.
Its much more involved than this. I gave you the barest of essentials.

It doesn't make any difference what kind of tenant - conventional or Section 8 - the investigations are the same.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Answer 2

you need to check with a local lawyer to be sure you behind is covered in anything you do to make sure it is 100% legal. Some areas you can just serve a 3 day notice to pay and have the sheriff haul them out but in the area I live in now a landlord may not evict any tenant from november 1 to april 1. Most of the scum of the earth have learned this trick and start a lease on april/may and only pay until november then ride the next 6 months free.

I sold all my rental houses because of this goofy law

I've lived in houston my entire existence. It is whatever to get used to, I bet. I love Houston seeing that I've lived right here for goodbye I feel. Sugar Land is a nicer side of Houston and the persons are high-quality. Crime is beautiful dangerous within the southwest side of Houston. Ever for the reason that we obtained plenty of Katrina persons, there as been a mild spike in crime. It appears to be slowing down now. Sugar Land is a high-quality discipline and is beautiful risk-free. I feel it is a satisfactory spot for a tender couple to reside in. When you come back to consult with Houston, please make certain to come back right down to the Rice Village. It's the Kirby go out off of fifty nine South, take a proper on Kirby, then a left on University. Once you come back to Morningside Drive, park and get out. Walk over the bars and browsing discipline. To me, Houston will get no higher than this. It's a hectic position with plenty of high-quality persons. I not too long ago proposed to my fiancee and we plan on dwelling within the loop (loop 610) proper across the Rice Village (it is proper subsequent to Rice University). After a couple of years, if we transfer, it'll be to Austin, Tx. They name that the California of Texas...plenty of hippies and whatnot. It's a well little the town even though. Just like some other town...there are dangerous and imply persons that motive the entire crime. You cannot do a lot approximately that. Traffic can also be very irritating. The humidity in the summertime can also be very dangerous too, I cannot deny that in any respect. Also, the water in Galveston is not anything like Cali. I do not even trouble happening to the seashore. Houston is an overly combined town, so be ready for a few tradition surprise if you have not skilled an extremly various town. But, with the entire special cultures brings plenty of satisfactory locations to consume and drink. Hope you love it. God pace.

Your ONLY option is to file formal eviction proceedings in the local courts. The clerk's office can advise on the local procedures or you can hire an attorney to handle it for you.

TX evictions are pretty easy, I've done a few myself. Although the Clerk's office can't provide legal advice they did have a flyer with everything explained and samples of the legal paperwork and forms. That was Bexar County but I'd expect that you can get similar service in Houston as well.
